US judge blocks Trump bid to limit mail-in voting in latest setback for president

Ruling marks second time that Trump's plan to restrict mail ballots across the US has suffered a setback in court

A federal judge blocked a proposed restriction on mail-in voting across the US, challenging a crackdown on elections ordered by Donald Trump.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the US district court for the District of Columbia ruled that a US Postal Service (USPS) plan to deny ballots to voters in states that do not turn over their voter rolls to the federal government should not proceed.
