## Resource

The Trump administration’s push to overhaul mail-in voting with federal mandates—requiring special markings and barcodes—hit a major legal roadblock as a federal judge blocked the rules, citing lack of authority and election chaos risks. With states already printing ballots, the timing is critical, and the Department of Justice is appealing. The Supreme Court previously allowed temporary implementation without settling legality. Meanwhile, a Postal Service whistleblower claims the system was rushed, potentially jeopardizing millions of voters’ access to ballots before Election Day.
