A federal judge blocks the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out a presidential executive order affecting mail-in ballot procedures nationwide. The ruling prevents USPS from implementing the order as described in the case filings and reported by multiple outlets. The judge cites a prior 2020 agreement as grounds for stopping the order.
According to coverage, the executive order directs USPS to transmit mail-in ballots only for states that comply with specific election-related requirements. Those requirements include providing voter lists, such as a roster of mail-in voters, to the relevant state election authorities, and meeting other conditions outlined in the order.
The decision means USPS does not move forward with the executive order’s implementation while the legal dispute continues. The sources agree on the core outcome: a federal judge issues an injunction halting USPS from carrying out the executive order, and the rationale includes reference to the 2020 agreement.
