Federal judge expands nationwide block on Postal Service mail-in voting order

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani on August 11, 2026, expanded her injunction to bar the U.S. Postal Service nationwide from carrying out President Trump's executive order limiting mail-in voting. The ruling broadens a June injunction covering 23 states and Washington, D.C. Talwani found the groups suing are likely to prove the order exceeds presidential authority. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on Trump's request to lift the June injunction.
