Appeals court hands Trump a loss on mail voting as Supreme Court considers his executive order

An appeals court on Thursday upheld a block on President Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to limit mail voting. The legal defeat for the administration occurs as the Supreme Court is actively considering the same case.

The ruling arrives at a time of heightened urgency regarding the electoral process, as states have already begun sending out ballots for the high-stakes elections. The concurrent actions by the appeals court and the Supreme Court highlight the ongoing legal battles surrounding voting procedures.
