A federal judge declined to pause a ruling that blocked the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from implementing President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive order targeting mail voting.
The decision means Trump’s dangerous attack on mail voting remains blocked in 23 states and the District of Columbia.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani rejected a Trump administration motion asking her to put on hold, pending an appeal, her June 25 ruling that the USPS cannot refuse to deliver mail ballots unless voter lists are handed over to the DOJ.
Talwani’s opinion Tuesday described sections of the executive order as unconstitutional and outside the authority of the executive branch.
