- A federal judge has issued an injunction preventing the Trump administration from enforcing specific mail-in voting rules outlined in an executive order.
- The court ruling specifically states that President Trump lacked the necessary authority to implement these changes in the states of Washington and Oregon.
- The executive order, which aimed to impose certain restrictions or guidelines on mail-in voting, was deemed to overstep presidential powers by the federal judiciary.
- Both Washington and Oregon, known for their extensive use of mail-in voting, contested the executive order and were supported by the court’s decision to block its enforcement.
- This decision is part of ongoing legal battles concerning mail-in voting practices and presidential authority, especially with increased mail voting due to public health concerns.
