From Washington: A federal mail-in voting rule is at the center of ongoing legal battles. The rule originated from an executive order issued by President Donald Trump, which aims to ensure citizenship verification and integrity in federal elections.

Further details on the proposed rule and the legal battles surrounding it are available from KOSA CBS7 / First Alert 7.
