A preliminary injunction has been granted by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani. This move replaces a temporary order that blocked a plan by the Postal Service.

The plan was based on an executive order from President Donald Trump that aimed to restrict mail voting during the midterms. The Trump administration is likely to appeal this latest decision, having already asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the matter. Time is of the essence, as some states have begun sending out mail ballots.

Further information on this developing story is available, including details on the administration's next steps and the impact on upcoming elections.
