A federal appeals court just dealt a major blow to the Trump administration’s latest attempt to overhaul mail-in voting, blocking an executive order that demanded states comply with sweeping federal rules before November’s elections. The court ruled 2-1 that the order wasn’t premature — it set urgent deadlines for states to align with federal directives, forcing immediate action. The order, signed in March, aimed to have Homeland Security compile citizenship lists and the Postal Service restrict ballot delivery to approved voters — moves already deemed unconstitutional by a lower court. That judge also called the threat to prosecute election officials for using incomplete lists an intimidation tactic. With the Justice Department warning it might head to the Supreme Court, this latest legal setback underscores the ongoing battle over election integrity — and the limits of presidential power in shaping voting rules.
