Postal voting in the USA begins despite legal dispute over Trump's rules

In the US, North Carolina has started postal voting for the November election as planned, although a legal dispute over Trump's planned tightening of postal voting rules continues. The Trump administration wants to give the US Postal Service a central role in controlling postal voting, which critics see as an attempt to disadvantage Democrats. At the same time, Trump made threats to the Federal Reserve over interest rates and appointed new secretaries of the Army and Navy.

US judge extends suspension of Trump's postal voting decree until the election

A federal judge in Massachusetts has extended the preliminary injunction against Trump's executive order making it more difficult to vote by mail until November 3, the day of the congressional midterm elections. The decision prevents the implementation of new postal rules that critics say could disenfranchise millions of voters. Trump had appealed to the Supreme Court, but the judge emphasized the lack of time for correct implementation before the election.

Interior Minister Poseck emphasizes the need for comparable skills when changing and points to the software's contribution to countering terrorism and combating child pornography.
