周四，一名联邦法官冻结了唐纳德·特朗普总统旨在打击邮件投票的行政令的主要内容，阻止政府进一步推进该命令的实施，因为该命令会影响24个在法庭上对该指令提出质疑的州。
美国波士顿地区联邦法官因德拉·塔尔瓦尼是奥巴马政府任命的法官，她是最新一位抵制特朗普将联邦政府介入选举管理的广泛举措的法官，而选举管理在很大程度上由宪法规定由各州负责。
“宪法并未赋予总统对选举的任何特定权力，”她写道。
她的裁决部分叫停了特朗普的一项指令，该指令本会对各州的邮件投票程序施加新要求，以便美国邮政服务能够递送选票。美国邮政总局不得在23个由民主党主导的州和哥伦比亚特区执行其新规定计划。
该命令还禁止这些州实施特朗普要求国土安全部在大选前编制每个州适龄公民名单的行政令。她明确叫停了政府“采取任何步骤创建新的联邦项目，监督和控制原告州对其选民名册的维护”，或根据该行政令的指示对这些州的选举官员提起诉讼。
此次裁决是针对特朗普2026年3月行政令的多起诉讼之一，她同意原告方的观点，即特朗普在发布该行政令时超出了其职权范围。
特朗普的行政令拟赋予美国邮政总局和国土安全部在筛查邮件投票流程以及搜寻潜在非公民选民方面的新角色。
根据为落实特朗普指示提出的计划，美国邮政总局将要求各州在大选前30天提交其邮件选民名单，才能使用邮政服务递送选票。该计划还强制要求各州在选票信封上添加个性化的选票追踪条形码——该条形码也会提供给邮政承运机构。
批评人士称，该计划实际上不可行，同时违反了邮政服务的法定职责以及宪法的分权原则。
与此同时，特朗普下令国土安全部使用联邦数据库编制可提供给各州的公民名单。2026年3月的行政令并未将国土安全部的条款与给美国邮政总局的指示联系起来。但在随后的法庭文件中，政府表示国土安全部正在探索与邮政机构共享数据，以“识别可能表明选民欺诈或滥用选票的异常情况”。
甚至在2026年3月发布该行政令之前，特朗普政府就已加大力度利用联邦移民数据搜寻非公民。不过，众所周知，常用于此类行动的国土安全部公民身份数据系统会出现假阳性结果，引发人们对合格选民会被错误从选民名册中清除的担忧。
本周在华盛顿特区的另一起案件中，一名联邦法官叫停了使用该公民身份数据系统清除选民名册的做法。
Judge halts Trump executive order aimed at mail voting in states that challenged it

A federal judge on Thursday froze major parts of an executive order by President Donald Trump aimed at cracking down on mail voting, blocking the administration from taking further steps to implement it as it would affect two-dozen states that challenged the directives in court.
US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee who sits in Boston, is the latest judge to push back on Trump’s broader efforts to insert the federal government into election administration, a task largely designated by the Constitution to the states.
“The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” she wrote.
Her ruling partially halts a Trump directive that would have imposed new requirements on states’ mail voting programs in order for the US Postal Service to deliver the ballots. USPS cannot carry out its plan for the new regulations in the 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia.
The order also blocks for those states Trump’s order that Department of Homeland Security create lists of each state’s voting-age citizens ahead of the election. She explicitly halted the administration from “taking any steps to create a new federal program to superintend and control Plaintiff States’ maintenance of their voter rolls,” or bringing prosecutions against election officials in those states based on the executive order’s instructions
Her ruling came in one of several lawsuits challenging Trump’s March 2026 executive order, and she agreed with the challengers that he had exceeded his authority in issuing it.
Trump’s order contemplates giving the USPS and DHS new roles in screening the mail voting process and in the search for potential non-citizen voters.
Under a plan proposed to comply with his instruction, USPS would require states to submit lists of their mail voters 30 days before the election in order to use the postal service for transmitting ballots. The plan also mandates that states put individualized ballot tracking barcodes on ballot envelopes — barcodes that also would be provided to the mail carrying agency.
Critics say the plan is practically infeasible, while running afoul of both the Postal Service’s statutory obligations and the Constitution’s separation of powers.
DHS, meanwhile, has been ordered by Trump to use federal databases to assemble lists of citizens that could be provided to states. The March executive order did not connect the DHS provisions to the instructions for USPS. But in court filings since, the administration has indicated that DHS is exploring data-sharing with the postal agency to “identify anomalies that may suggest voter fraud or misuse.”
Even before the March 2026 order, the Trump administration was ramping up efforts to use federal immigration data to hunt for non-citizens. However, the DHS citizenship data program that has been commonly used in that exercise is known to turn up false positives, prompting fears that eligible voters will be wrongly purged from the voter rolls.
In a separate case in Washington, DC, this week, a federal judge blocked the use of that citizenship data system for purging voter rolls.
