Judge lifts block on Trump changes to mail voting, though legal fights continue
Wednesday, August 26, 2026
A federal judge on Wednesday lifted a temporary block on an executive order issued by President Trump that changes mail voting procedures, allowing the order to take effect ahead of midterm elections. The order had been blocked by a lower court judge but the appeals court decision does not prevent future legal challenges from voting rights organizations. Multiple lawsuits regarding the order remain pending in federal courts.
