19 AGs Sue Trump Over Election Order

A coalition of 19 Democratic attorneys general has filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order mandating proof of citizenship for voting and prohibiting the counting of mail-in ballots received after Election Day. The lawsuit, filed in Massachusetts, argues that Trump’s order is an unconstitutional overreach of presidential authority, violating the separation of powers and infringing on states' rights to regulate elections. California and Nevada are leading the challenge, joined by states including Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Arizona. The executive order, signed on March 25, aims to prevent foreign interference in elections and mandates state compliance under threat of losing federal funding. Despite the administration's defense of the order as necessary for election integrity, the lawsuit highlights concerns over disenfranchisement and constitutional violations.
