Talwani Extends Block On USPS Mail-Ballot Rules Through Election Day

Talwani Extends Block On USPS Mail-Ballot Rules Through Election Day

The Sept. 4 order, docket 285 in League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump, keeps the freeze in place nationwide.

  • Judge Indira Talwani presides over the case in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts.
  • Case No. 1:26-cv-11549 pits the League of Women Voters against the Trump administration.
  • The order keeps the Postal Service's new ballot rules frozen nationwide until Nov. 3.

Why it matters: One district judge now sets national mail-ballot policy, a power no election put in her hands.
