Trump voting changes

More than a month after one federal judge halted a portion of President Trump's executive order related to voting, another judge on Friday ruled that additional provisions of the order need to pause as well.

The decision from U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper, in the District of Massachusetts, affirmed a pause on one of the most controversial parts of the order, which would require that people provide documents that prove their citizenship, like a passport, when they register to vote using the national registration form.

But Casper also blocked a provision aimed at barring states from counting mail ballots postmarked by Election Day but that election officials receive after.

The judge noted that states have the power to set the rules for their elections, according to the Constitution, not the president.

"The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections," Judge Casper, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, wrote.
