U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani extended her block on President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting on Friday, preventing the Postal Service from implementing new requirements such as scannable ballot envelopes and voter eligibility lists. The ruling created a major setback for the administration as states began sending out mail ballots for the November midterm elections. In response, the Trump administration filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court on Sunday seeking to overturn the block, marking the third appeal to the justices on this issue.
