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.

The National Republican Congressional Committee & National Republican Senatorial Committee then asked the #SCOTUS to intervene. They argued that the appeals court had acted too soon & broadcasters were already charging them higher rates & upending their planned budgets.

The high court’s decision halts the appeals court ruling while the #Republican committees appeal it.

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.
