Federal Judge Blocks Trump Mail Voting Order Again

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This judicial ping-pong shows the high stakes of mail voting as midterms approach, with courts and the White House in a tug-of-war over election access.
💡 Why it matters
The ongoing legal battle could affect how millions of Americans cast their ballots in the upcoming midterm elections, potentially swaying control of Congress.

A federal judge placed a 14-day hold on President Trump's executive order limiting mail-in voting, just a week before midterm ballots are due. This follows the Supreme Court overturning an earlier block on the same order.
