Democratic Party leaders and institutions filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump over his recent executive order to enforce federal laws against noncitizens voting in elections.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from New York, were plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the executive order affirming “the federal prohibition on foreign nationals voting in federal elections.”
Officials with the Democratic National Committee asserted in a statement that the lawsuit correctly affirms the executive order “attempts to suppress voters,” as well as “upend voter registration systems” and prevent state governments from “counting eligible mail ballots.”
