- Postal Service was blocked—again—Thursday from implementing a new rule that would only allow the agency to send mail-in ballots to voters whose information has been shared with the federal government, though litigation over the policy remains ongoing, so it’s still unclear if it could take effect before the November midterms.
- The rule requires state and local election officials to submit voters’ names and addresses to USPS through a new portal, and only voters whose information is submitted will be allowed to receive mail-in ballots.
- Voting rights groups then filed an updated lawsuit that took aim at the final rule, and Talwani re-blocked the rule in a temporary ruling Thursday.
