Here we go again.
Judge Talwani late Thursday once again temporarily blocked key parts of President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in ballots.
Earlier this month, in a separate case, US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, expanded her previous block on President Trump’s executive order on mail-in voting.
The Boston-based Judge previously blocked President Trump’s March 2025 executive order, specifically his attempt to create a federal voter list.
In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248: Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.
Judge Talwani previously said, “The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”
On August 11, Judge Talwani blocked the US Postal Service from implementing Trump’s executive order that would make mail-in ballots more secure.
On Thursday, Judge Talwani once again blocked President Trump’s executive order in response to a new lawsuit that was filed on Wednesday.
Judge Talwani blocked the Trump Administration from implementing the executive order for 14 days.
The AP reported:
A federal judge on Thursday halted — at least for now — attempts to implement President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail voting.
The move stalled the directive for a second time only about a week before the first mail ballots are due to be sent out for the rapidly approaching midterm elections. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani placed a 14-day hold on the government implementing the order in a case that could be headed back to the Supreme Court, which on Monday overturned an earlier ruling of hers that had blocked Trump’s order from taking effect.
Talwani wrote in her ruling, “Plaintiff states have neither time nor funds to design new mail ballots, seek approval of the new designs, order production of mail ballots, update their own election management systems, train election officials to use the USPS portal and upload citizen data to the portal, all before the midterms.”
The US Supreme Court on Monday upheld part of President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in ballots on a separate case ahead of the midterm elections.
On Monday, the Supreme Court paused Judge Indira Talwani’s August 11 ruling that blocked key parts of President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in ballots.
