Federal judge refuses to block Trump order to create federal voter list and limit mail voting
The judge said the challenge was premature because the order has not yet been implemented and no flawed voter lists have been produced.
- On May 28, District Judge Carl Nichols declined to block President Donald Trump's Executive Order tightening mail-in voting rules, marking a loss for The Democrats who argued the measure could disenfranchise millions of voters.
- The Executive Order, signed March 31, mandates the Postal Service deliver ballots only to voters on approved lists and requires states to preserve election records for five years while directing agencies to build "state citizenship lists."
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Plaintiffs argued the Order infringes on states' rights under the Constitution, claiming Department and Social Security Administration data used for "state citizenship lists" risks excluding lawfully registered voters due to outdated information.
- Dismissing the request, Nichols wrote: "Given that the Executive Order does not command Plaintiffs to do anything, and that no agency has yet acted pursuant to the Order in a way that could harm Plaintiffs, they have not suffered any harm at present."
- A separate lawsuit challenging the Order proceeds in Boston, where District Judge Indira Talwani is scheduled to hear arguments on June 2, as Republicans and The Democrats remain locked in a tight battle for control of Congress.
