Appeals Court Rejects Lifting Block On Rule for Mail Ballots

“A federal appeals court denied the Trump administration’s request to lift a lower court’s order that blocked new rules for mail ballots before the midterms, the latest twist in a case that has already reached the Supreme Court,” CBS News reports.

“In a nine-page opinion issued Thursday, a three-judge appellate panel in the First Circuit Court of Appeals said that the Trump administration failed to show that the new rule from the U.S. Postal Service would not cause ‘chaos and widespread voter disenfranchisement’ ahead of the November midterms if implemented, as a lower court judge found earlier this month.”
