This decision is deeply disappointing, putting millions at risk of unlawful targeting by the admin’s unreliable voter purge database. But this case is not over. We’ll continue fighting to protect Americans’ voting & privacy rights & ensure the district court’s decision stands.

_________________
No. 26A305
_________________
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. v.
CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026]
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON
and by her referred to the Court is denied. The Government
is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the
District Court’s preliminary injunction. And the equitable
factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this
Court do not favor a stay.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
… applying the rule
in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in
violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state
and local election officials do not have sufficient time to
reasonably implement the rule before the elections. See 39
U. S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A). For that reason, I
concur in the denial of the application for stay
