The order, challenged in court by 23 states and the District of Columbia, was struck down Thursday by Obama-appointed Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. She argued that the Constitution empowers states and Congress to oversee elections, not Trump.
“The States alone determine voter-eligibility requirements, subject only to the outer limits of the Constitution,” Talwani wrote in her decision. She also noted the high risk of error involved in the endeavor, writing that the federal government lacked “the ability to create complete and accurate lists of the U.S. citizens residing in every State.”
The president has long railed against mail-in ballots as fraudulent, a baseless claim used to justify any fairly lost election. And while Trump’s order was initially allowed to go through in May, this new court ruling will be a significant obstacle for his plans, which could disenfranchise thousands of legal voters.
Trump has yet to comment on the ruling.
