The Supreme Court late on Sept. 14 declined to lift a nationwide injunction blocking a United States Postal Service (USPS) rule on federal ballot mail, leaving it on hold for the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n

The ruling in USPS v. California took the form of an unsigned order. “The Government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the District Court’s preliminary injunction,” the order said. “And the equitable factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this Court do not favor a stay.”<\/p>\n

The suspended rule would have required unique barcodes and scanner-ready envelopes for mail-in ballots \u2014 a measure the Trump administration had sought to implement ahead of the November midterms.<\/p>\n

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in a concurring opinion with fellow Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson that “there is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service’s statutory authority” but that applying the proposed rules would be “arbitrary and capricious” for the midterm elections as state and local officials “do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule.”<\/p>\n

Justice Samuel Alito filed a dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.<\/p>\n

The decision is likely the final word on the rule during this election cycle, with even the district court judge noting from the bench earlier this month that it was unclear how the government would implement the plans with November just around the corner.<\/p>\n
