A federal judge has extended an order that prevents the Trump administration from enforcing new mail-voting rules as the November midterms approach.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Postal Service's implementation of rules related to mail-in voting.
These rules came from President Trump's executive order, which aimed at creating a list of eligible voters for mail ballot delivery.
The administration argues these changes are necessary to prevent ineligible voters from participating in elections, while opponents claim that only states and Congress can set election rules.
The Supreme Court had previously overturned an earlier injunction, but after the Postal Service's final regulations were issued, Talwani blocked them again.
With election deadlines approaching, states like North Carolina have started mailing ballots, raising concerns about the timing and preparation for these changes.
The legal battle continues as election officials prepare for the upcoming midterms amid these significant voting rule changes.
