## Resource

A federal appeals court has blocked President Trump’s controversial executive order aimed at restricting mail-in ballots to only those on a federal voter list, upholding a lower court’s decision and protecting the current voting systems in 23 states ahead of the midterms. The administration claimed the move was to prevent non-citizens from voting, but judges ruled it was an overreach of presidential power, risking confusion and abuse. With election officials and Democrats warning that federal interference undermines state authority, the court’s decision reinforces that election rules belong to Congress and the states — and this legal battle is far from over.
