## Resource

A federal judge has blocked a Trump-era USPS rule that would’ve made it harder to vote by mail, calling it unconstitutional and beyond the Postal Service’s authority. The administration insists it’s just a technical tweak, but the judge slammed it as an overreach that undermines state and congressional powers — especially with elections looming. This legal showdown is now headed toward the Supreme Court, while states continue mailing ballots and reassuring voters the system remains secure. The battle centers on who controls election access: federal agencies, presidential orders, or state and congressional authority.
