A federal judge declined to temporarily block President Trump's executive order on mail-in voting. According to Al Jazeera, the judge stated that the Democrats’ legal challenge is premature because the administration is moving to implement the measure. A lawsuit, as reported by Bluesky, argues that President Trump is trying to usurp the states’ authority to run elections. Democrats’ lawyers, according to SCMP, argued that the executive order could disenfranchise millions of voters. Trump has asserted that the 2020 election was stolen due to widespread voter fraud, as reported by SCMP. The decision comes as Trump’s Republicans are locked in a tight battle to keep control of both houses of the US Congress in the November midterm elections, according to SCMP. NPR reported that another judge may rule on the executive order soon.
