The lawsuit claims that the decree unlawfully burdens voting rights by threatening to disenfranchise millions of Americans. Trump’s order restricts the distribution of mail-in ballots to voters on a state-approved list and mandates the federal government to compile a list of eligible voters in each state. Democrats caution that this could lead to arbitrary voter removals by the U.S. Postal Service. The executive order follows a failed Senate bill and is part of Trump’s ongoing push for stricter mail-in voting rules ahead of the upcoming congressional elections.
