Appeals Court Rejects Trump Bid to Curb Mail in Voting in 23 States A federal appeals court in Boston has dealt a significant blow to Donald Trump's efforts to meddle in the democratic process, rejecting his administration's request to lift an injunction on implementing tighter rules for mail in voting in 23 states.
The decision is a reprieve for voters and a reminder of the essential role that an independent judiciary plays in safeguarding American democracy.
The appeals court's 2 1 ruling was based on the argument that Trump's executive order, which aimed to tighten voting procedures and restrict mail in ballots, was unconstitutional.
