Judge in Boston blocks parts of Trump’s mail-in voting order : NPR
NPR • • nation
Key Points:
- A Boston judge blocked parts of President Trump's executive order aimed at limiting voting by mail, though it has not yet impacted mail-in voting for this year's midterm primaries.
- The order faces constitutional challenges since election rules are set by state legislatures and Congress, not the president, prompting expected appeals from the Trump administration.
- The order directs the Department of Homeland Security and USPS to create voter lists and restrict mail-in ballot delivery to those on the lists, but USPS plans to rely on state election officials' data instead.
- Postmaster General David Steiner stated USPS would withhold mail ballots from states that refuse to provide absentee voter lists to the federal government.
- Related lawsuits in Washington, D.C. are ongoing, with Democrats appealing a recent ruling that declined to issue an emergency block on the Trump administration's directives.
