Judge Lets Trump Move Forward With Mail-In Voting Order. A U.S. federal judge has refused to block an executive order from Donald Trump tightening rules around mail-in voting. Democrats argued the measure could disenfranchise millions of voters ahead of the November midterm elections. The order directs federal agencies to help states verify voter eligibility using citizenship data from government databases. It also instructs the United States Postal Service to deliver ballots only to voters on approved mail-in voting lists. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols ruled the challenge was premature because the new rules have not yet been implemented. Democrats, including Chuck Schumer, argued the order infringes on states’ constitutional authority to oversee elections. Critics also warned federal citizenship databases may contain outdated or inaccurate information that could wrongly exclude eligible voters. A separate lawsuit brought by Democratic-led states is still moving forward in a federal court in Boston.
