U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani extended an injunction barring the Postal Service from implementing an executive order by Trump affecting the November election. States have already begun sending ballots, leaving little time to change rules.

About one‑third of U.S. voters cast ballots by mail, so the dispute could materially affect control of Congress.
