Federal Judge Blocks Trump Attempt to Make Voting Harder Than Ever

U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper permanently banned most components of President Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order regarding election rules. The ruling blocks the requirement for individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, such as passports or birth certificates, during voter registration. Additionally, the judge prohibited the mandate that all mail ballots be received by Election Day regardless of postmarks. This decision prevents the administration from withholding federal funding from states that refuse to comply.
