The ruling Saturday by judges of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration\u2019s effort to move forward with the mail-in voting restrictions in 23 U.S. states\u00a0that sued\u00a0ahead of November\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Trump issued an executive order in March for the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the commissioner of the Social Security Administration to create a \u201cstate citizenship list\u201d of eligible voters. It also ordered the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail ballots only to people on that list.<\/p>\n

While Trump touted the proposed changes as safeguards to keep non-U.S. citizens from voting, state election officials argued they were ripe for abuse and could cause chaos.<\/p>\n

Democratic officials in 23 states and the District of Columbia challenged Trump\u2019s order in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Boston. They argued that Trump\u2019s order was unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the authority to set election rules.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani, who was nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama, agreed and\u00a0halted Trump\u2019s orderfrom being implemented for the Nov. 3 elections \u2014 but only in the states that have sued.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department said in an emailed statement Sunday that it is \u201creviewing all options\u201d regarding its next legal steps and is confident that Trump\u2019s executive order will ultimately be upheld.<\/p>\n
