A federal judge issued an order preventing the Postal Service from imposing new limits on mail‑in ballots. The decision rests on agreements the service reached in a 2021 legal settlement. The ruling
marks the second instance a court has halted voting‑related curbs introduced under the Trump administration. The judge emphasized that the Postal Service must honor the settlement terms.
Election officials had warned that additional restrictions could delay ballot delivery. The Postal Service had argued the measures were needed for operational efficiency. Advocacy groups hailed the
decision as a protection of voting access. The case may prompt further legal challenges to any future attempts to limit mail‑in voting.
