Democratic Party Challenges Trump Executive Order on Elections.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC), alongside Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the former president’s recent executive order regarding election procedures. Filed in Washington, D.C., the suit alleges that the order, issued on March 25th, oversteps presidential authority by imposing requirements that could disenfranchise eligible voters.

Specifically, the DNC contends that provisions mandating proof of citizenship for voters, preventing the counting of mail-in ballots received after Election Day, and threatening federal funding cuts to non-compliant states are unconstitutional. The lawsuit argues that the Constitution vests the power to regulate federal elections primarily in individual states and Congress, not the executive branch.

This legal challenge is not isolated. Earlier on Monday, voting rights organizations also initiated legal action against the executive order, signaling widespread concern over its potential impact on fair and accessible elections. The White House has not yet responded to the suit.
