Judge limits a small part of a court order blocking Trump’s election overhaul as lawsuits continue
A federal judge modified part of a ruling blocking President Donald Trump's election overhaul, affecting only the 19 states involved in the lawsuit, as stated by U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper.
The modification blocks a directive for federal agencies to assess U.S. citizenship for voter registration in the 19 states that filed the lawsuit.
The other aspects of the preliminary injunction against Trump's executive order remain unchanged, including the blocking of a proof-of-citizenship requirement, as noted by Judge Casper.
Election law experts believe the modification will not significantly impact the situation due to existing overlapping injunctions.
