Judge Blocks Trump’s Election Order | Tucson News

A federal judge has blocked President Trump’s latest executive order aimed at creating a national voter list and giving the Postal Service a role in limiting mail-in voting — a move that could impact nearly half the country ahead of the midterms. This is the second time the judge has halted such an order, and her latest ruling reinforces that the executive branch lacks authority to regulate elections, which is the responsibility of states and Congress. The lawsuit, brought by voting rights groups including the League of Women Voters, argues the order is unconstitutional and unenforceable. The administration’s attempt to appeal to the Supreme Court was denied, and the Postal Service’s implementation efforts were stopped. Trump’s broader push for citizenship verification and claims of widespread noncitizen voting have also been challenged, as states already manage voter rolls and noncitizen voting is extremely rare and illegal. This latest setback adds to a pattern of legal defeats for Trump’s election-related executive actions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
