#Trump Solicitor General Sauer pushed back on Judge Talwani’s assessment in the brief to #SCOTUS, asserting that the #USPS plan fell under the agency’s bounds to adopt rules “as may be necessary in the execution of its functions” & compared the rules for #MailBallots to Postal Service “preparation requirements for the mailing of CREMATED REMAINS & replica EXPLOSIVES.” [seriously]

She added that the #USPS rule “clashes with #Congress’s statutory scheme, & is #unconstitutional where it intrudes not only on Congress’s #elections clause powers but also that power left to the #states.”

The trial court judge, Indira Talwani, wrote that the legal challenge to the #USPS plan by Democratic-led states & voter rights organizations was likely to succeed. The groups had argued the plan violated the #Constitution’s #SeparationOfPowers, which gives #states & #Congress responsibility over #elections, not the executive.

A federal judge in Boston ruled for the third time on Friday that the #Trump admin’s plans to restrict #MailVoting are likely #illegal & it should be prevented from implementing them ahead of the #midterms.
Judge Indira Talwani had already temporarily blocked the #USPS from moving forward, in a ruling that was set to expire Sept 10. The new order extends that block indefinitely.

For a THIRD time a federal Judge blocks #Trump #MailBallot rules
The ruling arrived before #SCOTUS could decide whether to intervene but is certain to set off yet another round of appeals.

Candidates pay discounted rates for TV time around an #election under federal #law, & in March the #FCC’s Media Bureau said certain party-coordinated ads are entitled to those prices as well.
Four #Democrats, including Sen #JonOssoff of Georgia & former Sen #SherrodBrown of Ohio, challenged the finding in court. They won a victory from a divided panel of the US 4th Circuit Court of appeals.

#SCOTUS kills #VotingRights
The Supreme Court’s decision to upend a key provision of the #VotingRightsAct [#VRA] has plunged the nation into a dizzying new era of partisan conflict, most likely ushering in a forever #redistricting war that could produce fewer competitive seats in #Congress & further #polarize #US politics.

The #Michigan activists are part of an expansive web of grass-roots groups that formed after #Trump’s attempt to overturn his defeat in 2020. The groups have made mass #VoterChallenges a top priority this #election year, spurred on by a fmr Trump #lawyer, #CletaMitchell, & True the Vote, a #vote-monitoring group w/a long history of spreading #misinformation.

CW: Sedition; US politics; Corrupt (and functionally illiterate) #Republicans
I don't know which is worse: a sitting member of Congress calling for a declaration of martial law to overturn the results of an election, or the fact that that member of Congress thinks "martial" is spelled "Marshall".
