Red-State AGs Join Court Bid to Shield Trump’s Mail-Voting Order
TL;DR
Twelve Republican attorneys general moved to intervene in a Democratic-led lawsuit challenging Trump's March 31 executive order on mail voting, arguing the order would actually bolster state authority by creating federal voter lists with DHS/SSA and restricting ballot delivery via the USPS. The judge’s decision on intervention is pending; notable signatories include Kris Kobach and Steve Marshall. The case is part of broader legal challenges to the EO, including a separate Massachusetts suit by voting-rights groups.
