A federal judge blocked the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out an executive order on mail-in ballots on Wednesday. President Donald Trump had ordered the postal service to transmit ballots for states only if those states first provided a list of mail-in voters, among other requirements.
Background
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan blocks the postal service from implementing the order nationwide. Sullivan argued that the order would violate the settlement agreement in an earlier 2020 lawsuit between the postal service and the NAACP.
The lawsuit in that case centered on Trump’s March executive order, Executive Order (EO) 14248, which directed the creation of a federal voter registration list and imposed new restrictions on eligibility for voting by mail as part of the administration’s broader effort to combat voter fraud.
