Judge rules Trump cannot block counterterrorism funds to force election changes
Original: Trump can’t force election changes by blocking counterterrorism funds to states, judge says
A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot withhold counterterrorism funding from states as a way to force changes to election procedures. The decision blocks an attempt to pressure states through federal homeland security grants. The ruling limits the administration's use of funding conditions to influence how states run elections.
Why now: A federal court has just handed down a ruling limiting the Trump administration's leverage over state election rules.
