- A federal appeals court ruled Friday to allow the U.S. Postal Service to advance proposed changes to its mail-in ballot delivery procedures while legal challenges continue
- The Trump administration rule on mail-in ballots remains stalled under a separate court order, per the source
- A three-judge D.C. Circuit panel issued the ruling, the source states
Why it matters: The split ruling gives USPS procedural latitude on ballot delivery changes but keeps the underlying Trump-era policy frozen pending other litigation — meaning any operational shifts to mail-in ballot handling remain conditional while the legal fight plays out.
