Summary
The federal agencies "are still deliberating on how (if they are) to implement the order, but the court of first instance decided preventively that anything the agencies can choose to do will necessarily be illegal," said the Department of Justice in its document. Trump has promised to end the use of mail ballots throughout the country before the midterm elections and has long questioned the security of these ballots, although evidence of electoral fraud is rare. At the time, Trump also determined that the proof of citizenship would become a requirement for the electoral record and cited Brazil and India as examples of countries using biometric systems to identify voters.
Furthermore, The states that contest the decree claim that the US Constitution gives state governments and Congress — and not the president — the power to establish electoral rules. A group of 12 prosecutors-general of Republican states intervened in the case to defend the presidential directive. Restricting mail ballots would tend to disproportionately benefit Republicans, since Democratic voters have traditionally been more likely to use mail ballots than Republican voters.
