Second judge freezes Trump mail ballot plan as Supreme Court ruling looms

A second federal judge has blocked the U.S. Postal Service from implementing President Trump's executive order aimed at limiting mail-in voting. This ruling by Judge Carl J. Nichols in Washington, D.C., follows a previous block by Judge Indira Talwani in Boston. These legal obstacles persist as the Supreme Court considers an emergency request to lift the initial prohibition. The administration seeks to rewrite election rules before the upcoming midterm elections while awaiting the high court's final decision.
