  "summary": "U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols has blocked President Donald Trump's administration from implementing a new U.S. Postal Service rule that would tighten mail-in voting requirements, according to a report by Daily Maverick. The judge ruled that the new regulation could make it harder for some people to vote by mail and that it exceeded the Postal Service's authority. The administration has appealed the decision to the Supreme Court. The rule would require states to submit a list of voters eligible to receive mail ballots to the USPS and to place unique barcodes on outbound and return ballot envelopes.",
