A federal district judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order to overhaul U.S. federal elections, siding with a group of Democratic state attorneys general who said the order violated the Constitution.

In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Denise Casper agreed to grant a preliminary injunction that was sought by the attorneys general from more than a dozen states who had challenged Trump’s directive, issued in March.
