A federal judge late Wednesday kept in place, for now, President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order intended to limit who can receive mail ballots, giving Trump an initial victory as he tries to shape who can vote this fall.<\/p>

In March, Trump signed the order<\/a>, which directed the U.S. Postal Service to compile lists of voters in each state who are eligible to receive ballots by mail. The Democratic National Committee, attorneys general in Democratic-led states and voting rights groups separately sued, arguing the president has no authority to limit who can receive ballots.<\/p>\n

Judge Carl J. Nichols of the U.S. District Court of D.C. ruled against the Democratic National Committee and voting rights groups Wednesday, declining to issue a preliminary injunction blocking the order.<\/p>

Nichols, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, said in his ruling that it is too soon to consider the request for an injunction because the Postal Service has not yet adopted a rule saying how it will implement the executive order.<\/p>\n

The case will continue, as will separate legal actions in Massachusetts brought by state attorneys general and a voting rights group.<\/p>
