Mail-in Voting EO Complaint: League of Women Voters, et al. v. Donald Trump, et al.

This case challenges an extraordinary and abusive assertion of executive power over the administration of federal elections. The U.S. Constitution assigns authority over federal elections to the states and Congress—not the President. Yet President Trump’s March 31, 2026, Executive Order, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” (“Executive Order” or “Order”) unilaterally imposes sweeping changes to election procedures nationwide. Plaintiffs’ members—among potentially millions of eligible U.S. citizens—will be excluded from the franchise if this Executive Order is implemented and will thus be irreparably harmed.

This is not the first time the President has unlawfully attempted to usurp power over federal elections. He issued the instant Executive Order notwithstanding injunctions from three separate federal courts, each blocking implementation of a 2025 executive order that likewise attempted a power grab over the federal elections process. That order was unconstitutional. So is this one.
