A US federal judge blocked President Donald Trump's executive order on August 27 curbing the use of mail-in ballots, the latest twist in a legal dispute months before November's midterm elections. Trump signed an order in March seeking to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the midterms, but it was immediately met with multiple legal challenges. (Photo by Ken Cedeno / AFP via Getty Images)
