Critics argue these powers belong to states and Congress.

What We Know: Judge Nichols suggested future lawsuits remain possible if the administration implements the eligibility lists or mail-ballot changes.

What It Means: The League of United Latin American Citizens plans further challenges if the administration takes new steps.

Signed in March after stalled legislation, the order proposes a federal eligibility list to restrict mail-ballot delivery.

Election officials and unions oppose the plan, citing potential confusion and errors.

Despite Trump’s claims of widespread 2020 fraud, investigations found no large-scale evidence.

What’s At Stake: This is Trump’s second major election order this term; a prior proof-of-citizenship requirement is currently blocked in several courts.
