Appeals court maintains blockade on Trump's plan to use post office to police mailed ballots

A federal appeals court has rejected President Trump’s plan for the U.S. Postal Service to manage mail-in voting and reject invalid ballots. The court ruled that the federal government failed to present a compelling argument for the plan to proceed. This decision maintains an existing blockade on the proposed scheme.

• A federal appeals court refused to revive President Trump’s plan.
• The plan involved the U.S. Postal Service overseeing mail-in voting.
• USPS would have refused to deliver ballots deemed invalid under the plan.
• The court ruled the federal government did not make a convincing case to move forward.
