Judge bars Trump pressure
Federal Judge Trina Thompson issued a temporary order barring the Trump administration and the Justice and Homeland Security departments from threatening or intimidating election officials, or pressuring them to stop processing ballots on the grounds that the voters were ineligible. The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by election-worker unions and civil-rights groups, after the court found that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in showing that the actions violated the Voting Rights Act and exceeded the states’ authority over election administration. The order expires on November 16 and also requires the Justice Department to notify the court of any requests to inspect or access election materials related to claims of ineligible voting.
