Oregon attorney general, 22 other states sue over President Trump’s executive order to limit vote-by-mail
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and 22 other states have filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order to limit vote-by-mail. The lawsuit alleges that the order is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers by shifting election control from states to the federal government.
A coalition of 23 states and one governor has filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order to limit vote-by-mail. The order would give the federal government authority to determine which citizens receive mail-in ballots. The lawsuit alleges that this is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers. The attorneys general argue that the order attempts to use the U.S. Postal Service to withhold ballots from voters. The coalition claims that the order would force states to overhaul election procedures rapidly, potentially disenfranchising eligible voters. Oregon has operated a vote-by-mail system for decades and was a pioneer of the format.
