As soon as the executive order was signed, these democratic states sued, democratic groups sued, voting rights groups sued.
It is made its way to the Supreme Court and then come back down for further debate.
And so while this legal process is very slow and laborious and detailed, what these states are fearing is that the president and his administration are going to do something that they're well known for, racing beyond the legal bounds, going beyond the legal process, breaking through norms.
And trying to implement as much of this executive order as they can before any legal disputes are settled.
And whether that's successful or not, these states are also fearing that the mere fight is creating confusion and chaos among their voters about whether their mail-in ballots will count.
So this executive order, more than most voting challenges I've covered in the past seven years, has really been a legal soap opera.
So the executive order is signed in late March.
The Democrats and voting rights groups, they sue pretty quickly.
But it takes until late June for us to get our first significant decision out of a federal court in Massachusetts.
And that judge knocks down a few key components of this executive order, saying they were unlawful, null, and void.
Okay.
And this judge, Indira Tolwani, specifically focuses on this idea that the Constitution doesn't give the president any.
Electoral powers, as we said earlier.
And she says this explicitly in her ruling, underlining the words does not.
Basically, she endorses the state's message.
A hundred percent.
And that is the first blow to this executive order.
Now, the Trump administration immediately appeals that decision, but they lose their first appeal.
So then they bring it before the Supreme Court for the first time.
A lot of legal observers thought that the Supreme Court would probably agree with the lower courts, just given what the arguments were and how explicit their ruling was that the president and the executive branch has no authority over elections.
