A federal judge has declined, for now, to block a series of mail-in voting changes ordered by former President Donald Trump.
The ruling allows the Trump administration to continue pursuing the contested measures for the time being.
The changes include enlisting the United States Postal Service to help check voters against a national database.
Critics argued the directive could slow mail delivery and disenfranchise eligible voters.
The judge did not rule on the legality of the changes but found no immediate need to halt them.
The case is expected to proceed, with further hearings scheduled in the coming weeks.
Opponents of the order have vowed to continue their legal challenge.
The ruling marks a significant early step in a broader legal battle over election procedures.
