Which judge blocked Trump's Executive Order 14248?

Question

Accepted Answer

U.S. District Judge John H. Chun, appointed by President Joe Biden, issued a 75-page ruling on Jan. 9, 2026, blocking key provisions of Executive Order 14248 in Washington and Oregon. Chun ruled that Trump exceeded his constitutional authority by attempting to impose federal voting rules on states. The Constitution grants Congress and the states—not the president—authority to regulate federal elections. Chun wrote: "The Constitution assigns the states all authority to regulate the time, place, and manner of elections, subject only to the limitations by Congress."
