A federal judge on Wednesday lifted her prior order blocking a final U.S. Postal Service rule on mail-in ballots issued at President Donald Trump’s direction, allowing the policy to take effect while warning that voting-rights groups retain substantial arguments for further review. Under the rule, election officials must submit the name and address of every voter requesting a mail ballot to a new federal database, ballots receive unique barcodes, and envelopes must meet federal design standards, or USPS will refuse delivery. USPS will not verify voter eligibility but will retain the data and later provide a full list of approved voters to state election officials; voters need take no action themselves. Critics say the added administrative hurdles could create chaos and delays, and additional court challenges could again block the policy before the November midterms, with mail ballots accepted as early as early September in some states. The decision follows the Supreme Court’s 6-3 procedural ruling lifting a separate injunction without deciding the executive order’s legality.
