A series of voting rights groups and top Democrats have sued President Donald Trump over his effort to restrict mail-in voting, alleging it's an unlawful power grab. The lawsuits argue that Trump's order will exclude millions of eligible US citizens from voting and violate the separation of powers laid out in the US Constitution.
President Donald Trump has been sued by voting rights groups and top Democrats over his new restrictions on mail-in voting. The lawsuits were filed on April 1 and 2, and argue that Trump's order will exclude millions of eligible US citizens from voting. Trump signed an executive order on March 31, directing the US Postal Service to create uniform standards to prevent transmitting mail-in ballots of people not approved to vote. The voting rights groups and Democrats claim that Trump is violating the separation of powers by attempting to exercise power that belongs to Congress or the states. The lawsuits aim to block Trump's restrictions, which they say will disenfranchise lawful voters.
