Democrats Sue Trump Over Executive Order on Elections
Briefly

The Democratic Party filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, asserting that a recent executive order requiring proof of citizenship for voting is unconstitutional. This comprehensive 70-page suit highlights the president's overreach and emphasizes that he lacks the legal authority to regulate federal elections, a power reserved for states under the Elections Clause. This united action among Democrats reflects their commitment to defending electoral integrity and represents a strategic move to unify the party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, amidst ongoing discussions of executive power expansion.
With nearly every arm of the Democratic Party uniting against Trump’s executive order on voting reforms, they emphasize the president's lack of constitutional authority in regulating elections.
The lawsuit argues the Constitution assigns states the authority to manage elections, challenging the president’s sweeping reforms as unconstitutional and unnecessary.
