Judge Blocks Permanent Voter ID Rule

A federal judge has permanently blocked a controversial executive order that sought to require proof of citizenship for voter registration, ruling that only states and Congress—not the president—can set election rules. This decision solidifies a prior temporary injunction and marks another legal defeat for the administration’s attempt to impose the requirement via executive action. While courts have repeatedly blocked parts of the order, especially concerning military voters, the administration is now pushing the same policy through Congress, where a related bill has passed the House but stalled in the Senate. The former president has even withheld signing a housing bill until the voting bill moves forward, turning the battle over election rules into a high-stakes legislative tug-of-war.
