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.
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.”
Justice Brett Kavanaugh filed a concurring opinion. Justice Samuel Alito filed a dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.
