Judge blocks Trump’s election executive order, siding with Democrats who called it overreach
- On June 13, 2025, a judge in Massachusetts issued an injunction preventing the enforcement of certain parts of President Trump's executive order regarding election procedures.
- The order, challenged by 19 states' Democratic attorneys general and voting rights groups since April, aimed to add documentary proof of citizenship to voter registration and restrict counting late mail ballots.
- Judge Denise Casper ruled that requiring documentary proof conflicts with Congress' authority and would impose burdensome costs, citing lack of access for some eligible voters to passports or birth certificates.
- Judge Casper stated that the Constitution does not provide the President with authority over election matters and described the executive order as inherently unconstitutional and a violation of states' rights to manage election administration.
- The ruling pauses the enforcement of key election provisions, affirming states' rights to manage elections and suggesting continued legal obstacles for the executive order's implementation.
