A federal judge has extended her block on new U.S. Postal Service requirements for mail voting as states prepare to send ballots for the November midterm elections.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction on Friday barring the agency from enforcing rules finalized and published late last month. She had temporarily blocked the requirements on Aug. 26.
The longer injunction followed a hearing on Thursday and a request from two dozen Democratic-led states and voting rights groups. The case is still developing.
