U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued an injunction blocking President Trump's March executive order that directed the Postal Service to refuse delivery of mail-in ballots to states that did not submit voter lists for citizenship verification. The ruling found the order unconstitutional, stating that election administration is a state responsibility and the executive branch lacks authority to impose such requirements.
