Appeals court upholds block on Trump order limiting mail voting

It reflects the frenzied legal rush as states are beginning to send out mail ballots for this fall’s midterm elections. The high court has allowed the executive order to move ahead, but the justices have not decided whether it’s constitutional.
Under the plan, the Postal Service won’t deliver mail ballots from states that don’t get pre-approval for envelope design and submit a list of voters.
