➤➤ BREAKING: States file lawsuit to stop Trump’s election power grab
This is huge, Peter.
A coalition of state Attorneys General is suing to block Donald Trump’s sweeping executive order on elections that would give the federal government unprecedented control over how elections are run across the country.
The lawsuit argues what we already know: this order is unconstitutional. It’s a blatant attempt to strip states of their authority to run elections. This is power that the Constitution explicitly gives to the states and Congress, not the President.
Let’s be clear about what’s happening here. Trump is trying to rewrite election law by executive order. He’s bypassing Congress, undermining state election officials, and creating a blueprint for rigging the rules in his favor.
This lawsuit is a crucial first step in fighting back, but legal battles like this don’t come cheap. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and we don’t have time to wait and see what their next move will be.
