The U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals rejected President Donald Trump’s July 25 2026 bid to lift the injunction on the voting order covering 23 states.
The panel upheld Judge Indira Talwani’s June 25 injunction, which ruled the order unconstitutional because it forces states to meet November-election deadlines.
