Judge limits a small part of a court order blocking Trump’s election overhaul as lawsuits continue
SUMMARY: A federal judge modified part of a preliminary injunction against President Trump’s election overhaul executive order. The adjustment restricts the block on assessing citizenship for voter registration forms to only 19 states that sued, not nationwide. However, this has limited practical impact since another judge blocked the mandate across all 50 states in a separate case. The change follows a Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions. Other aspects of the initial injunction, including proof-of-citizenship and mail-in ballot rules, remain blocked. The Department of Justice continues to fight the lawsuits filed by Democratic state attorneys general and civil rights groups.
