A federal judge, Emmet Sullivan, blocks the US Postal Service from implementing a nationwide plan tied to President Donald Trump's executive order on mail ballots.Sullivan rules the proposed policy violates a 2021 settlement with the NAACP that requires the Postal Service to prioritize and promptly deliver election mail and bars denying ballots from states that do not provide voter lists or meet the order's conditions.The decision, following a similar injunction by
Indira Talwani, draws praise from
Anthony Ashton and
Allison Zieve and raises concerns about the Department of Homeland Security's plan to compile voter lists; the
US Postal Service has not commented.
