美国联邦地区法官印迪拉·塔尔瓦尼周五扩展了对特朗普行政令的禁止令1。该行政令旨在中期选举期间限制邮寄投票1。这一初步禁制令取代了之前的临时令，禁止美国邮政服务实施该行政令1。
塔尔瓦尼法官在裁决书中指出，各州被州法律要求在规定时间内向选民邮寄数百万张选票，无法在选举周期的这个后期转向这一政策1。她表示，仓促改变邮寄投票方式"几乎必然会导致合格选民的大规模被剥夺投票权"1。这一禁令为特朗普政府设置了重大障碍，因为各州已开始发送邮寄选票，北卡罗来纳州周五开始发送第一批1。美国约三分之一的选民使用邮寄选票1。
特朗普政府已向最高法院提出上诉1。最高法院曾于上月推翻了之前的禁令，但其保守多数派指出特朗普的行为是否合法尚未定论1。民主党人和投票权组织已提交多起诉讼1。
Federal District Judge Indira Talwani expanded a ban on Friday preventing the U.S. Postal Service from implementing a Trump executive order aimed at restricting mail-in voting during the midterm elections.1 The preliminary injunction replaces an earlier temporary order and presents a significant obstacle to the Trump administration as states have begun distributing mail-in ballots.1
In her ruling, Judge Talwani stated that states are required by state law to mail millions of ballots to voters within specified timeframes, and that changing course at this late stage of the election cycle would "almost inevitably result in mass disenfranchisement of qualified voters."1 Approximately one-third of American voters use mail-in ballots.1 North Carolina began sending its first batch of mail-in ballots on Friday.1 The Trump administration has appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.1
The Supreme Court struck down a previous ban on the matter last month, though its conservative majority indicated that the legality of Trump's actions remained undetermined.1 Multiple lawsuits have been filed by Democrats and voting rights organizations challenging the administration's policy.1
