Judge Blocks Trump’s Mail-In Ballot Order | Phoenix News

A federal judge has blocked a Trump administration order seeking to restrict mail-in ballots, ruling the executive branch lacks constitutional authority to dictate election rules — a power reserved for states and Congress. This isn’t the first legal hurdle: the judge previously sided with state attorneys general on similar grounds. With midterms looming, the court stressed the need to prevent last-minute changes. The White House didn’t defend the order’s constitutionality, instead arguing over who could sue — a strategy that backfired. The administration now faces mounting legal roadblocks as it pushes to have lower court rulings overturned by the Supreme Court.
