Democrats sue Trump over mail-in voting restrictions

  • Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, filed lawsuits against Trump's executive order, claiming it undermines state authority and violates multiple laws.
  • The lawsuits argue that Trump's order could disenfranchise voters by requiring states to submit mail voter lists 60 days before elections and by allowing the USPS to determine ballot eligibility.
  • The order's creation of a federal citizenship list raises privacy concerns and could lead to unconstitutional voter screening, according to the challengers.
