## Resource

A federal judge has permanently blocked a major part of President Trump’s first election executive order, which sought to require proof of citizenship for voter registration. Meanwhile, the U.S. Postal Service is threatening to withhold mail-in ballots from states that don’t share their voter lists with the administration — seen as a federal pressure tactic to enforce compliance. The Postal Service claims it’s for efficiency and law enforcement, but the judge’s ruling earlier this week already declared key parts of the order unconstitutional, including the creation of a federal voter list and federal control over ballot distribution. This legal showdown underscores the ongoing battle over who should control election rules — with states and Congress traditionally holding that authority, not the president.
