Federal Judge Blocks Postal Service Plan to Enforce Trump Mail Ballot Delivery Order

A federal judge has blocked the US Postal Service from carrying out its plan to deliver mail ballots for President Donald Trump's re-election campaign, citing a violation of a 2020 settlement in a lawsuit that aimed to protect mail-in voting rights during the COVID-19 pandemic. The order found that the USPS proposal would disrupt the integrity of the electoral process and unfairly favor one candidate over others. The decision is seen as a significant setback for Trump's efforts to expand his voter base through mail-in ballots. The USPS had planned to implement the plan, which included dropping packages containing ballots at polling stations, by Election Day.
