Court Blocks Federal Voting Order | Washington DC News

An appellate court has halted a controversial executive order aimed at creating a federal voter list and restricting mail-in ballots, ruling it oversteps federal authority. The order, signed in March, sought to centralize election control, sparking legal challenges from 23 states and D.C. who argue voting rules belong to states and Congress. The president defended the move as a security measure to prevent non-citizens from voting, but courts sided with the states, issuing a temporary injunction. The Justice Department is now weighing its next moves, signaling the battle over federal vs. state election control is far from over.
