This marks the second time this week a judge halted one of Trump’s election-related orders — the previous one requiring proof of citizenship to register was also struck down. States like Arizona, where mail voting is widespread, are cheering the decision as a victory for voters, especially military families and rural residents. The White House insists the order is lawful and plans to appeal, arguing the lawsuits were premature — but the judge called that impractical given the approaching election deadlines. Critics warn the plan would politicize the Postal Service and overburden election officials, raising fresh questions about presidential authority in election administration.
