## Resource

A federal judge has slapped a major legal brake on the USPS’s plan to restrict mail-in voting—a move backed by President Trump—issuing a preliminary injunction that could reshape how millions vote in the upcoming midterms. As states like North Carolina begin mailing ballots, the administration is already gearing up to appeal, turning this into a high-stakes race against Election Day.
