Judge's Ruling Against Trump's Election Changes
Atlanta: On Friday, a federal judge intervened to block President Donald Trump's initiative aimed at changing the electoral process in the United States. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general, who argued that Trump's actions were unconstitutional.
The executive order issued by Trump on March 25 aimed to mandate that officials obtain documentary proof of citizenship from all individuals registering to vote in federal elections. Additionally, it sought to enforce a policy of only accepting mail-in ballots that were received by Election Day and to tie federal election grant funding to states' compliance with these new deadlines.
