Federal judge considers whether to extend ban against U.S. Postal Service mail voting changes

U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani is considering whether to extend a judicial ban preventing the U.S. Postal Service from implementing proposed changes regarding mail-in ballots. The contested regulation effort was initiated as part of an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.

During a hearing in Boston on Thursday, Judge Talwani noted that the Postal Service has provided no details regarding how it intends to implement the plan to regulate mail ballots. The court is currently weighing whether to allow the proposed changes to proceed or to maintain the prohibition.
