First Circuit Keeps Trump's USPS Ballot Rules Frozen Through November
Twenty-four state attorneys general and Pennsylvania's governor sued August 26; a district judge had already blocked the rules a week earlier.
- USPS's rule made officials redesign ballot envelopes and enroll millions in a new tracking system.
- The same rule let USPS refuse delivery of any mail ballot it judged noncompliant.
- Bonta co-led the suit with attorneys general from Massachusetts, Nevada and Washington.
Why it matters: A federal court decided which government controls how millions of mail ballots reach voters this fall.
