Permanent record
Federal judge blocked mandatory portions of the Postal Service ballot-mail rule

- Posture:
- Preliminary injunction — merits litigation continuing
Judge Indira Talwani preliminarily enjoined the Postal Service from enforcing mandatory portions of its final ballot-mail rule for the November 3 elections. Her order recounted that USPS issued the final rule after an earlier injunction, while the rule itself said implementation would await relief from existing injunctions. A preliminary injunction preserves the status quo during litigation and is not a final merits judgment.
