U.S. Appeals court upholds injunction against President Trump's mail-in voting order to implement stricter rules (LINK) — 25 July 2026

The list would be made using sensitive citizenship data from federal databases. The order also directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate officials who mail ballots to people who are "not eligible" to vote.
