A federal judge has refused to block President Trump's executive order creating a federal voter list and restricting mail voting, ruling that it is too early to challenge the order before it is implemented. - Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, rejected a request from Democrats and civil rights groups.
- The order would have the federal government compile a list of eligible voters and direct the Postal Service to deliver mail ballots only to those on the list. - Election officials warn the system could be abused and cause chaos.
- The legal battle now shifts to Boston, where a separate lawsuit is pending.
