In a total victory for President Trump, a rogue Obama-appointed judge has just been forced to lift her nationwide injunction on his mail-in ballot executive order, following a major Supreme Court ruling.

On Monday, the Supreme Court struck down a different block issued by the same judge.

If you missed it, we covered that huge ruling in further detail here:

Until this week, President Trump’s executive order was blocked by two separate injunctions — both issued by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of Massachusetts.

In light of the Supreme Court decision overturning one of those injunctions, the DOJ asked Judge Talwani to reconsider her other one, as well.

On Wednesday, she granted that request, reluctantly dropping the earlier injunction.

Take a look at her new order here:

This clears the final hurdle for the new mail-in ballot rules to go into effect — just in time for midterms!

The Hill reported further:

A federal judge in Boston on Wednesday lifted a nationwide block on mail-in voting restrictions, temporarily clearing the way for the Trump administration to begin implementing them ahead of the November midterms.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani granted the Justice Department’s request to reconsider her earlier injunction in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that found a separate lawsuit challenging President Trump’s order was premature.

“In sum, the court finds that, in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. California, Plaintiff Organizations are not likely to prevail as to ripeness without amending their complaint to reflect the fact that a Final Rule has now issued,” Talwani wrote in a nine-page order.

The case was brought by the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts and other voting-rights groups, which are seeking another block now that the U.S. Postal Service has finalized its rule.

After all this, the same group that secured the first block against President Trump’s executive order is now seeking a new one.

However, it remains to be seen if they will be able to get very far now that the Supreme Court has weighed in — especially with midterms so close.

Mail-in ballots are set to go out very soon, as soon as September 4th in North Carolina and Delaware, which are the first states to mail them out to voters.

The National Desk has more:

The League of Women Voters of Massachusetts and other voting-rights groups brought the case and are seeking another block now that the USPS has finalized its rule.

Talwani noted that the voting-rights groups have “substantial arguments that might persuade the Supreme Court to reach a different result” if they “have an opportunity to present them.”

The DOJ didn’t immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.

The executive order was blocked under two separate injunctions. Talwani said Tuesday that the USPS had violated her previous orders by moving forward with the rule but declined to take further action.

The rule, which the USPS published Wednesday in the Federal Register, requires mail-in ballots to have a unique logo and barcodes with an embedded ZIP code, among other specifications. States will also be required to submit voter and ballot-tracking information through a new federal portal before ballots can enter the mailstream.

Washington Attorney General Nick Brown (D) and Secretary of State Steve Hobbs (D) on Wednesday announced a lawsuit against the USPS over the rule, joined by 25 other Democratic-led states.

The new lawsuit argues that the rule interferes with states’ authority to administer their own elections and risks disenfranchising eligible voters.

“The Rule inflicts significant, imminent, and irreparable harm on Plaintiff States by imposing new and burdensome mail voting requirements, enforced by USPS interception of non-conforming ballot mail, and doing so mere months before a nationwide election,” the lawsuit reads.

Talwani is also overseeing the new case, which the states filed in her district.
