A federal judge has blocked FEMA from conditioning antiterrorism grant funding on changes to election rules. The ruling stops the agency from using homeland security money as leverage over state election administration. The decision lands amid ongoing legal fights over federal authority over elections and conditions attached to federal funding, and is drawing attention from government, law and politics observers.
Why now: A new court ruling limits federal leverage over state election administration, a live political and legal controversy.
