A federal judge has declined to block an executive order signed by Donald Trump that targets his longtime enemy, mail-in ballots.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in June 2018, ruled that Democrats’ hopes to block the plan—which would create a federal list of citizens eligible to vote and ask the U.S. Postal Service to only mail ballots to those people—were premature.
“Given that the Executive Order does not command Plaintiffs to do anything, and that no agency has yet acted pursuant to the Order in a way that could harm Plaintiffs, they have not suffered any harm at present,” wrote Nichols.
