California among 19 states suing to block Trump election order, calling it unconstitutional
Briefly

Democratic officials from 19 states have collectively filed a lawsuit against President Trump's recent executive order aimed at changing election protocols. The order imposes requirements for proof of citizenship when registering to vote and mandates that all mail ballots be received by Election Day. State attorneys general argue these measures violate states' rights to manage their own elections and assert that Trump's actions undermine constitutional law, labeling the order as unconstitutional, antidemocratic, and un-American. They've noted that recent elections were among the most secure and that widespread voter fraud claims are unfounded.
The lawsuit is the fourth against the executive order issued just a week ago, targeting new requirements for voter registration and mail ballots, seen as unconstitutional.
California AG Rob Bonta emphasized that Trump's actions reflect disdain for the law and constitutional obligations, stating, 'He is not a king,' and must respect lawful governance.
