Lawsuit filed by the state of Washington and Oregon against the Trump administration challenging key provisions of Executive Order 14248 which could disenfranchise millions. The plaintiffs allege that President Donald Trump exceeded his executive authority in attempting to change state rules for conducting federal elections. They argue that the order violates the U.S. Constitution and multiple federal laws including the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act. The plaintiffs seek a court order blocking the administration from implementing several provisions imposing documentary proof of citizenship requirements for the federal registration form, conditioning election funding for states on compliance with parts of the order and targeting states with extended mail ballot receipt deadlines. The states also seek a court order declaring that their extended ballot receipt deadlines are not preempted by federal law.
STATUS: Plaintiffs filed their complaint on April 4, 2025. The government has not responded yet.
