In a dim Postal Service mail recovery center, a clerk holds up a burst kraft envelope stuffed with Trump's mail-in voting executive order, stamped REFUSED, facing the reader. A chalk wall tally behind him reads STATES: 50 and DEFENSES: 0. Trump leans in from a bright doorway jabbing a finger and saying 'Deliver it anyway,' while a gray-suited Justice Department lawyer waits in the shadows holding a thin empty briefcase and looking at his shoes.

A federal judge in Boston expanded her block on President Trump's mail-in voting executive order to bar the U.S. Postal Service from carrying it out in all 50 states, after previously limiting the block to the 23 mainly Democratic-led states and D.C. that sued. Judge Indira Talwani noted the federal government has never defended the order's constitutionality in district court, appeals court or the Supreme Court, and offered no evidence of fraudulent absentee voting. Her earlier June ruling awaits Supreme Court review.
