🚨 FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP’S CITIZENSHIP‑PROOF VOTING RULE. A federal judge has stopped President Donald Trump from enforcing a rule that would have required voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship before registering. The judge said the president does not have the authority to change election rules on his own and made a previous temporary block permanent. The ruling also halts other parts of Trump’s election order, including a plan to reject mail ballots that arrive after Election Day even if they were mailed on time. State attorneys general argued the order violated the Constitution by taking power away from states and Congress. This decision marks another major setback for Trump’s efforts to reshape federal election rules. It also reinforces long‑standing limits on presidential power over voting systems.
