A federal judge in Massachusetts on Aug. 26 lifted a block she ordered against postal service rules that limit mail-in voting.
She issued that block after the League of Women Voters challenged proposed U.S. Postal Service rules that said states had to provide a list of voters that were eligible to receive mail-in ballots, and had to get pre-approval for their ballot designs.
Her decision comes after the Supreme Court, in a separate case brought by multiple states, overturned a similar block she issued in June.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani wrote that although the plaintiffs have “substantial arguments that might persuade the Supreme Court to reach a different result,” after further argument, their decision on Monday “compelled” her to agree to the government’s motion to reconsider that block.
