## Resource

A federal appeals court has struck down President Trump’s controversial mail-in voting executive order, blocking its implementation in 23 states and upholding a lower court’s earlier injunction. The order, which aimed to restrict ballot delivery to a pre-approved voter list to prevent non-citizens from voting, was deemed unconstitutional by judges who ruled that election rules belong to states and Congress—not the executive branch. The ruling, a major legal victory for Democratic-led states, reinforces the courts’ stance that such sweeping changes could cause chaos and abuse, especially ahead of critical midterm elections. This decision underscores the deepening legal and political battle over voting access and election integrity. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
