Democratic States Challenge Trump's Mail Voting Order

States controlled by Democrats filed a new lawsuit on Wednesday contesting President Donald Trump's executive order. The legal action specifically targets the order's provisions concerning mail voting for the upcoming midterm elections.

This legal challenge marks another instance of states seeking to prevent the order from taking effect. The states argue the executive action infringes on their authority to administer elections.

The lawsuit names the President and other federal officials as defendants. It seeks a court injunction to prevent the implementation of the executive order's mail voting restrictions ahead of the midterms.
