Trump Election Scheme Suddenly Blocked in Late Night Order
Summary
Legal AF host Michael Popock discusses Judge Talwani’s emergency stay blocking the USPS from enforcing Trump’s controversial mail-in ballot rules. With the Supreme Court previously dismissing the case as premature, Talwani now finds the states have standing and likely success on the merits. Attorneys General from California and Washington argue the executive order violates the Elections Clause, aiming to sow chaos before the midterms.
