Federal law says state legislatures and Congress set the rules for federal elections, not the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Talwani sided with several Democratic-led states that argued Trump, who votes by mail himself, was unlawfully interfering with their administration of federal elections. <\/p>\n<p>The issue is expected to be appealed by the Trump administration, dragging out the legal battle as the November midterm elections approach. <\/p>\n<p>White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the Daily Beast that Trump\u2018s executive order is constitutional, adding that the administration is \u201cconfident that we will ultimately prevail in its implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump has also urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act and other legislative proposals that would establish a uniform standard of photo ID for voting, prohibit no-excuse mail-in voting, and end the practice of ballot harvesting to secure our elections for generations to come,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s order directed Homeland Security to compile a list of confirmed U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state\u2014feeding into baseless right-wing conspiracies that non-citizens voted for former President Joe Biden en masse in the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>DHS was ordered to compile a list from citizenship and naturalization records and other federal databases, taking voter registration powers and oversight away from states.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2211\">Trump\u2019s Unreal Destruction of White House Lawn Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The executive order required the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail-in ballots only to those confirmed to be on lists curated by DHS\u2014an order now blocked by Talwani\u2019s ruling. Trump\u2019s postmaster general, David Steiner, told senators this week that he would refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to states that withhold their voter rolls from the administration.<\/p>\n<p>The executive order required state election officials to hand over the list at least 30 days before ballots are sent out under state law, and voters not on the list would not receive a ballot.<\/p>\n<p>During the Homeland Security Committee hearing, ranking Democrat Sen. Gary Peters told Steiner on Wednesday that Trump\u2019s rule was illegal and would \u201ccoerce\u201d states into providing the Trump administration with sensitive voter data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is basically a back-door way for the federal government to get voting information that states control under the U.S. Constitution,\u201d Peters said to Steiner. \u201cYou are going to make a decision that people cannot vote by mail\u2026 That\u2019s unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The American Postal Workers Union called the executive order an \u201cunconstitutional attack on the millions of Americans who vote by mail\u201d in a statement this month.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s order also included harsher penalties for those who vote illegally. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Much of that order is moot for now. The administration was sued by voting groups along with 23 states and the District of Columbia, all of which argued that Trump lacks the legal authority to change how federal election ballots are distributed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those who opposed Trump\u2019s order\u2014signed on March 31, mere months ahead of midterm elections that are expected to be a bloodbath for Republicans\u2014said states would have to rush to implement the new election rules, inviting chaos that may disenfranchise eligible voters.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2209\">Trump Floats Up Wild New Reflecting Pool Sabotage Plot<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A judge appointed by Barack Obama has thrown a wrench into President Donald Trump\u2019s vote-by-mail power grab.
