Federal judge declines to block Trump executive order on mail-in voting restrictions.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols declined to issue a preliminary injunction against President Trump's March 25 executive order that would restrict mail-in voting and require federal agencies to create voter citizenship lists. Nichols ruled that plaintiffs lacked standing because the order has not yet been implemented, but allowed them to renew their challenge if harms materialize.
