Judge blocks Trump’s mail-in ballot regulation ahead of elections

In the United States, a federal judge has temporarily blocked a Postal Service regulation aimed at controlling mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the regulation was likely unlawful, as it attempted to insert federal authority into state elections without Congressional approval. The decision comes just days after the Supreme Court overturned a previous injunction against the administration's efforts, creating significant challenges for states preparing for the elections.
