India, July 27 -- A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that in nearly half of US states halted President Donald Trump's executive order to create a federal list of eligible voters and limit delivery of mail ballots only to people on that list. Trump issued an executive order in March for the director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services and commissioner of the Social Security Administration to create a "state citizenship list" of eligible voters. While Trump touted the proposed changes as safeguards to keep non-US citizens from voting, state election officials argued they were ripe for abuse and could cause chaos.AP
