US appeals court rejects Trump’s bid to impose restrictions on mail-in voting before midterms

A Boston-based US appeals court has rejected Donald Trump's attempt to implement sweeping restrictions on mail-in voting before the November midterm elections. The court declined to stay a lower court injunction that prevents the USPS from tightening postal voting rules. This decision upholds a block on the president's executive order while the Supreme Court considers the case, occurring as several states have already begun distributing ballots for the upcoming high-stakes midterm elections.
