A coalition of civil rights groups sued the Trump administration on Thursday, saying that a new executive order to limit mail-in voting is unconstitutional. The executive order comes as the Trump administration has escalated efforts to undermine faith in the US election system ahead of this year’s midterm elections. The 30 March executive order marked the second time Trump has tried to unilaterally change voting laws since taking office. He does not have the authority to dictate how Americans cast their ballots, and no executive order can override that fundamental limit,” said Sophia Lin Lakin, who directs the ACLU’s voting rights project. We filed this lawsuit to stop this unlawful power grab, and we expect the courts to block it – just as they blocked parts of his previous voting executive order.”
