Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings has joined forces with 24 other states to challenge President Donald Trump’s executive order regarding voting procedures through a federal court filing made on Friday.
The multi-state legal action targets Trump’s executive directive that would limit voter eligibility and restrict mail-in ballot access to only those voters who receive prior federal authorization. State officials argue this presidential order represents an improper federal intrusion into election administration, which traditionally falls under state jurisdiction.
According to the lawsuit, the executive order poses a threat to the voting rights of qualified citizens and undermines the constitutional framework that grants states primary authority over their own electoral processes.
The coalition of attorneys general contends that Trump’s directive constitutes unlawful interference with established voting procedures and could prevent eligible citizens from exercising their fundamental right to vote.
