A presidential order has been signed that aims to limit vote-by-mail, with the intention of exerting federal control over state election laws. However, the order's implementation is uncertain as a US judge has blocked the bid to restrict mail-in voting, although there are conflicting reports on the court's decision. The move to curb vote-by-mail has sparked analysis and debate, with some outlets questioning the president's authority to restrict mail-in voting through an executive order.
