Second federal judge blocks Trump mail-ballot limits as Supreme Court weighs appeal
A second federal judge has ordered the U.S. Postal Service not to implement President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail balloting, as the Supreme Court considers the administration’s appeal of a similar ruling ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
A federal judge late Sunday, September 13, 2026, ordered the U.S. Postal Service not to implement U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail balloting, adding another obstacle to the administration’s effort to rewrite election rules.
The order was issued by U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols in Washington, D.C., and was similar to an earlier hold by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani in Boston. Talwani’s order prohibited the Postal Service from enforcing the new rule on mail voting before this year’s midterm elections.
The Supreme Court is already considering the administration’s appeal of Talwani’s order. The mail-voting rule at issue was issued on August 21.
