A federal judge on Thursday declined to block President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order tightening rules on mail-in voting in a loss for the Democratic Party, whose lawyers argued that it could disenfranchise millions of voters.<\/p>\n

The decision comes as Trump\u2019s Republicans are locked in a tight \u200bbattle to keep control of both houses of the U.S. Congress in the November midterm elections. Trump has \u200bfor years pushed the false claim that his 2020 election defeat was the result of \u2060widespread voter fraud and has criticized voting by mail.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The executive order signed by Trump on March 31 directed his administration \u200bto compile a list of confirmed U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state and to use federal data \u200bto help state election officials verify who is eligible to vote.<\/p>\n

It also required the U.S. Postal Service to only deliver ballots to voters on each state\u2019s approved mail-in ballot list, and required states to preserve election-related records for five years.<\/p>\n

In rejecting a request by plaintiffs, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, that he issue a \u200bpreliminary injunction blocking the measure, Washington-based U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols wrote that the Democrats had brought the case too early because \u200cthe \u2060government had not yet produced any flawed citizenship lists and the Postal Service had not yet implemented any new rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven 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,\u201d wrote Nichols, \u200bwho was appointed by Trump \u200bduring his first term.The \u2060judge said the Democrats could ask for an injunction again after federal agencies took steps to implement the executive order.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Democrats had argued that the \u200border infringed on individual states\u2019 rights to regulate elections under the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n

They said \u200bthe executive order\u2019s \u2060direction that agencies use Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration data to build \u201cstate citizenship lists\u201d risked improperly excluding lawfully registered voters because the data sources can be out of date and may include errors.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department countered that \u2060the litigation \u200bwas premature.<\/p>\n

A coalition of Democratic states brought a similar lawsuit challenging the \u200bexecutive order in federal court in Boston. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of Democratic former President Barack Obama, is due to hear \u200barguments in that case on June 2.<\/p>\n
