The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

A federal court lifted an injunction on President Donald Trump’s mail-ballot order, allowing a rule under which the U.S. Postal Service would not deliver mail-in ballots to states that refuse to provide voter rolls for verification. The order remains the subject of litigation as election officials prepare for early voting and vote-by-mail in November. A separate federal judge temporarily blocked Ohio from requiring proof of citizenship documents for voter registration at motor vehicle offices. Illinois and Cook County officials said mail ballots remain secure and preparations are continuing.
