Judge blocks feds from withholding security funds over election rules
Original: Feds can't withhold counterterrorism funds from states to force election admin changes, judge rules
A federal judge ruled that the federal government cannot withhold counterterrorism funding from states in order to pressure them into changing how they run elections. The decision limits the use of homeland security grants as leverage over state election administration, reinforcing that states control their own election systems and that such funds cannot be conditioned on unrelated policy demands.
Why now: The ruling lands amid ongoing national disputes over federal power versus state control of election administration.
