Claim 1: “A federal district court in Massachusetts on Tuesday issued a temporary [injunction]”

SINGLE SOURCE

While the claim mentions a Massachusetts court issuing a temporary injunction on Tuesday, the provided evidence for this specific claim discusses injunctions regarding Planned Parenthood and a Travel Ban, not the mail-in voting order. The evidence for Claim 1 mentions a Tuesday order, but the evidence specifically listed under Claim 2 does not support the claim's context.
