Trump's USPS mail-ballot rules hit a second roadblock as Supreme Court weighs case

A second federal judge has blocked new USPS mail-ballot rules intended for the Nov. 3 midterms. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols ruled that the Postal Service lacks the authority to force states into a federal portal or refuse ballots based on new standards. This injunction prevents potential voter disenfranchisement while the Supreme Court considers a separate case. The ruling creates another significant hurdle for the Trump administration's efforts to restrict mail voting processes across various states.
