Legal veterans unite to block Trump’s sweeping voting orders

TL;DR Summary
A coalition of veteran lawyers and voting-rights groups has widened lawsuits against Trump’s 2025–2026 voting orders, arguing they unlawfully let the president dictate election rules and curb mail voting. Led by the Democracy Defenders Fund, Campaign Legal Center, and ACLU, with support from Democratic attorneys general and other allies, the suits seek to block or limit the orders as the midterms near; federal courts have issued injunctions and the DOJ is appealing, highlighting a high-stakes legal battle over voting access and the integrity of the electoral process.
