Trump's Voter List Order Challenged in Court

0:0023 states and the District of Columbia just filed a lawsuit against President Trump's latest executive order. It aims to build a national list of eligible voters using data from Homeland Security and Social Security then force the Postal Service to only mail. Ballast to people on that list, effectively limiting mail-in voting. This comes after Washington State already beat back a similar Trump order earlier this year. A federal judge in Seattle blocked that one, which demanded proof of citizenship for registration and required all mail ballots by election day. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown is leading the charge, calling it a direct attack on states' rights to run their own elections. He points out the Constitution keeps election control with states, not the president, and stresses mail-in voting works safely across parties and demographics. Meanwhile, Trump himself voted by mail last month and a Florida special election, saying it was because of his busy schedule as president. Washington's got a solid system already, updating voter rolls with licensing data, death

These fights highlight the ongoing clash over election roles, with Brown suing the administration 58 times in Trump's second term. So far states are digging in to protect their voting processes.
