Judge blocks feds from tying counterterrorism funds to election rules
Original: Feds can't withhold counterterrorism funds from states to force election admin changes, judge rules
A federal judge has ruled that the federal government cannot withhold counterterrorism funding from states in order to pressure them into changing how they administer elections. The decision limits the use of federal security grants as leverage over state election systems, an issue that has drawn attention amid ongoing disputes between Washington and the states over control of election administration.
Why now: It lands in the middle of ongoing political fights over federal power versus state control of elections.
