State and local election officials from around the country in North Carolina have questioned the leaders of a federal agency tasked by President Donald Trump with implementing parts of his sweeping election overhaul executive order,

The Trump administration cannot enforce parts of an EO requiring US election officials to assess if people who are registering to vote are citizens.

A U.S. judge on Thursday blocked parts of President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to impose new rules on federal elections, which Democrats and other groups said risked denying eligible citizens the right to vote.
