This follows President Trump's executive order in March directing his administration to create federal lists of citizens and to refuse delivery of mail-in ballots to people not on those lists. The legality of Trump's executive order is being challenged, but the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the administration to proceed with its implementation for now.
