Thanks to the League of Women Voters for spreading the news that last Thursday, a federal court granted voting rights organizations’ emergency request to block USPS from implementing the newly-finalized mail ballot rule for the November midterm elections.
However, the temporary restraining order will remain in place only for 14 days while the parties brief the pending motion for a preliminary injunction, so be sure to request that your ballot be sent to you by email. You can do this when you register to vote as an overseas absentee voter at https://voteabroad.org/cct1-socivrd-2026
