Judge blocks Trump bid to tie anti-terror funds to voting rules
Original: Judge strikes down Trump’s bid to cut states’ anti-terror funds unless they impose new voting restrictions
A federal judge has struck down the Trump administration's attempt to withhold states' anti-terrorism funding unless they adopt new voting restrictions. The ruling blocks the administration from conditioning federal security grants on changes to state election rules, a move critics called coercive and unlawful. Supporters of voting rights groups have welcomed the decision, while the administration could still appeal, keeping the fight over federal leverage on election policy alive.
Why now: The ruling limits a high-profile administration effort to use federal funding to pressure states over election rules, fueling ongoing debate over voting rights and executive power.
