23 states sue Trump over new executive order targeting mail voting - cbsnews.com

Twenty-three states have filed suit against President Trump over an executive order that restricts mail voting practices. The lawsuit challenges the administration's authority to impose voting restrictions that typically fall under state jurisdiction. The order targets mail-in ballot procedures at a time when voting access has become a sharply contested issue between Republicans and Democrats, with mail voting significantly expanded during the 2020 pandemic. The states argue the executive action exceeds presidential power and conflicts with federal election law. The case will likely reach courts quickly given the potential impact on voting procedures ahead of upcoming elections.
