Judge blocks Trump from tying anti-terrorism grants to election changes
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from conditioning anti-terrorism grants on changes to election procedures, ruling the administration cannot use homeland security funding to pressure states over how they run elections. The decision stops any requirement linking federal grant money to election-related demands, and is expected to draw appeals and renewed debate over federal power over state election administration.
Why now: A new court ruling directly limits the administration's use of federal funding in the politically charged area of election policy.
