Judge clears way for Trump mail-in ballot executive order

A federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for President Trump’s March executive order beefing up rules surrounding mail-in ballots to stand in the face of legal challenges from Democrats.
The order would require the federal government to establish a list of eligible voters based on available citizenship data and direct the U.S. Postal Service to only deliver mail-in ballots to individuals on each state’s approved voter roll.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols in his ruling said the lawsuit brought by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, NAACP and League of United Latin American Citizens is unlikely to succeed on the merits and largely speculative.
Plaintiffs argued Trump’s order violates the Privacy Act by creating a list of individuals who are citizens and over the age of 18 in an attempt to establish an inventory of eligible voters based on federal data, even if no information is ever transmitted to any state. They also alleged the order treads on states’ constitutional authority over elections.
However, Nichols said the argument would only stand if a “purely intra-federal government list is created.”

Here's what I don't understand... the government already has these lists.

But aren't the rules for elections the responsibility of each state?

“But Plaintiffs fail to demonstrate that such action — that is, the sharing of name, age, and residence information between and among government agencies, if already known to the federal government — would cause a harm sufficient” to bring the lawsuit.

Hasn't stopped the feds from interfering before.

It was retarded on its face for the plaintiffs to argue that information readily available to certain federal agencies can't be shared with other federal agencies. All they accomplished was underscoring their commitment to cheating in elections by keeping this info siloed.
ETA - Especially info like SSN which is GENERATED by a federal agency in the first place.

The Reality - They'll deliver them anyway, illegal votes will be counted, they'll get caught and nothing will happen.

Now why would an upstanding group, such as this, want to keep mail in ballots after all the fraud that's been discovered ?

Normally next Presidents can undo EO’s. In this case since its been run through some legal processes and upheld, does that give it more chance last past this presidency?

No.
U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 4, Clause 1
quote:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Congress exercised its Constitutional power by passing 18 USC 611 which forbids noncitizens from voting in federal elections.
Trump's Executive Order was drawn to execute the law that Congress passed.

Judges are supposed to be impartial, but I bet some see these plaintiff's come before the court with shite like this and they roll their eyes.
