Trump appeals to Supreme Court for third time over mail-in ballot restrictions

Published



The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court on Sunday for the third time over the U.S. Postal Service’s new mail-in ballot requirements that remain blocked by a federal judge.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, extended the block beyond the initial 14 days she granted in a temporary restraining order on Aug. 27. Talwani’s preliminary injunction replaced her prior order, preventing the mail-in ballot restrictions from taking effect before the midterm elections as the case continues.
