Appeals court upholds injunction on President Trump’s mail-in voting order

A federal appeals court on Saturday declined to allow U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to implement in 23 states his executive order that aims to tighten rules ‌for mail-in voting ahead of November elections that will decide control of Congress.

In a 2-1 decision, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Department of Justice's (DOJ) request to pause a June ruling blocking several provisions of Trump's March executive order while the administration appeals.

But Mr. Trump has waged a yearslong campaign against voting by mail, signing executive orders, supporting court challenges and promoting legislation to curtail the option, which the president himself uses.
