19 States Sue Trump Over Election Order Amid Concerns of Unconstitutionality

In a significant legal response, officials from 19 states, led by Democratic attorneys general, have filed a lawsuit against former President Trump to block his executive order aimed at overhauling U.S. elections, citing constitutional violations. The order, which includes a controversial requirement for proof of citizenship to vote, has sparked widespread backlash and concern over potential voter disenfranchisement and chaos in the election process. Various civil rights organizations and nonprofit groups have also joined the legal fight, accusing Trump of exceeding his powers and threatening the integrity of federal elections. As litigation unfolds, the Democratic-led coalition seeks to halt what they describe as a blatant attempt to control election processes and restrict voting rights.
