Voting Rights Groups Move to Block Newly-Finalized Mail Ballot Rule

Submitted by Central Delaware County in August 2026.

Public Statement

In light of the US Supreme Court ruling concerning mail ballots, voting rights organizations supplemented the complaint in their lawsuit challenging President Trump’s executive order restricting mail voting to add claims against the US Postal Service’s (USPS) newly-finalized mail ballot rule. The groups simultaneously asked a federal court to immediately block USPS from implementing that rule for the November midterm elections.

The plaintiffs in this case, League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump, are the League of Women Voters, League of Women Voters of Massachusetts, Association of Americans Resident Overseas, US Vote Foundation, OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. They are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Massachusetts, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law, Legal Defense Fund, Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC, and LatinoJustice PRLDEF.
