Judge orders Trump administration to stop threatening election workers
Original: Judge orders Trump administration to stop threatening local election workers with prosecution
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to stop threatening local election workers with prosecution. The ruling blocks officials from pursuing criminal threats against state and local election staff, a practice critics say has intimidated the people who administer US elections. The decision comes amid ongoing legal fights over election administration and follows warnings from election officials about rising harassment and pressure since the 2020 vote.
Why now: A court ruling restraining federal officials from prosecuting election workers is new and politically significant.
