Voting by mail for the 2026 midterm elections is set to begin, despite ongoing legal disputes surrounding the rules governing these votes. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the US Postal Service from applying new mail-in voting requirements stemming from a broad order signed by President Donald Trump in March. This move came after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could start implementing parts of the order.

The US Postal Service has its own concerns about the initiative. An anonymous whistleblower report has raised issues, though details are limited. Further information on the situation is available from the source.

The legal uncertainty surrounding mail-in voting rules continues, with developments unfolding in an ongoing dispute.
