A federal appeals court has halted President Trump’s controversial executive order aimed at restricting mail ballots to only those on a federal “state citizenship list,” blocking its implementation in 23 states and D.C. The order, issued in March to ensure only U.S. citizens vote, faced swift legal challenges from election officials and Democratic leaders who argued it oversteps presidential authority — a power they say belongs to states and Congress. After an initial judge sided with the challengers, the appeals court upheld that decision, reinforcing the legal battle over election rules. The Justice Department is now weighing its next moves, but remains confident the order should stand — setting the stage for more legal drama as the nation grapples with who controls voting access.
