A federal appeals court on July 28 turned down an attempt from Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to block President Donald Trump’s overhaul of rules for mail-in voting, although judges said they may rule differently down the road.
A U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia panel upheld a May ruling from a federal judge in Washington that rejected a request from the Democrats to enter a preliminary injunction against an order from Trump that directed federal officials to compile lists of American citizens and compel states to only let people on the lists register to vote and vote in elections.
The judges on the panel said that at the present time, they cannot act against the president and his administration.
