Federal agencies have not taken steps to implement President Donald Trump's executive order restricting voting by mail. The Department of Justice filed documents asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit against the order, citing that it has not been implemented. The order directs the creation of state citizenship lists and restricts how ballots can be sent through the mail. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration, and the U.S. Postal Service stated that they are still deliberating over how to carry out Trump's directive. A hearing is scheduled for May 14. The lawsuit was filed by Democrats who allege the order is unconstitutional and builds an unauthorized national voter list.
