Federal judge issues second order blocking Trump mail-in voting directive

A federal judge issued a second injunction blocking implementation of President Trump's executive order on mail-in voting, which would have allowed the federal government to decide which voters receive mail-in ballots by state. Judge Indira Talwani ruled the order violates constitutional separation of powers and found states are likely to succeed on the merits. The Trump administration has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review and reverse the decision.

Why it matters: Election officials and voters in 23 states need clarity on mail voting procedures ahead of November 2026 elections; the injunction preserves current voting access while litigation continues at the Supreme Court level.
