A judge has blocked a rule put in place under the Trump administration that aimed to restrict mail-in voting. The rule, implemented by the U.S. Postal Service, sought to change how mail is processed and delivered, potentially delaying ballots. Opponents argued the changes were a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise voters and interfere with the 2020 election. The judge’s decision prevents the Postal Service from enacting these changes, at least temporarily. This ruling represents a win for voting rights advocates who filed the lawsuit challenging the rule. Further legal battles are expected as the case moves forward, raising questions about the future of mail-in voting regulations. The Justice Department, under the Biden administration, had previously signaled it would not defend the rule.
