Federal judge blocks postal service from enforcing Trump ballot order
Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- A federal judge, Emmet Sullivan, has blocked the U.S. Postal Service from implementing President Trump's executive order requiring states to provide voter lists before transmitting mail-in ballots nationwide.
- Sullivan ruled that the order violates a 2020 settlement agreement between the Postal Service and the NAACP, which mandates court oversight to ensure timely delivery of Election Mail.
- The ruling extends a previous injunction that had only blocked the order in nearly 25 states, now preventing the Postal Service from enforcing the policy across the entire country.
- This decision follows another recent ruling by an Obama-appointed judge blocking Trump's efforts to restrict noncitizens from registering or voting in federal elections.
- The White House maintains that Trump's executive orders aim to protect election integrity and expressed confidence in ultimately implementing the policies despite legal challenges.
