California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order aiming to enforce new nationwide voting standards, including proof of citizenship for voters. The coalition claims the order undermines state authority and is an illegal power grab. Trump's assertions regarding widespread electoral fraud are challenged, with several Democratic organizations joining the lawsuit. The lawsuit emphasizes a commitment to protect voting rights and challenges the legality of the president's actions, which are labeled as an attempt to disenfranchise voters.
"My fellow attorneys general and I are taking him to court because this Executive Order is nothing but a blatantly illegal power grab and an attempt to disenfranchise voters."
"Neither the Constitution nor Congress authorize the President's attempted voting restrictions. We will not be bullied by him. We will fight like hell in court to stop him."
