Judge Blocks Trump's Election Overhaul Executive Order

Judge Blocks Trump's Election Overhaul Executive Order

A judge has stopped former President Trump's plan to change how elections work.

Trump wanted everyone to prove they're citizens to vote and only count mail-in ballots received by Election Day.

This order also would have affected how federal money is given to states for elections.

The problem is that state officials thought the President overstepped his boundaries.

They said the rules about elections are decided by states, not the President.

The judge agreed with them, stopping the changes.

This is about who gets to make the rules for elections, and whether the President has too much power.
