Judge rules FEMA cannot tie security grants to election changes
Original: FEMA can’t condition security grants on election changes, judge says
A federal judge has ruled that FEMA cannot condition election security grants on states making changes to their election procedures. The decision limits the agency's ability to use federal funding as leverage over how states run elections. The ruling is drawing attention amid ongoing national debate over election administration and the federal government's role in funding and overseeing election security.
Why now: It lands in the middle of the heated national fight over election rules and federal oversight of elections.
