Legal battles keep mail-in voting rules unchanged despite Trump order
Court challenges leave the new USPS mail-in ballot verification rules in limbo, so voting procedures remain largely as they were.
As the general election approaches, lawsuits continue to contest the recently introduced USPS requirements for mail-in ballots. The disputes have stalled any major alterations to the system, meaning voters will still use the existing process. Earlier this year, Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at adding citizenship checks for future federal mail-in votes, but the order has not been implemented pending court rulings.
Why it matters
The outcome will affect how millions cast ballots by mail in the upcoming election.
