Judge blocked president’s executive order on elections, saying suit against it had reasonable likelihood of success
A second federal judge has rejected parts of Donald Trump’s executive order on elections, dealing another blow to his directive that would require proof of citizenship to vote in US elections.
The order, described in March by the White House as “the farthest-reaching executive action taken” in the nation’s history, quickly led to multiple lawsuits. In April, a federal judge in Washington DC ruled against the order in a lawsuit brought by the Democratic party and voting rights groups, blocking its implementation.
