Nineteen states, led by Democratic officials, filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump's executive order aimed at reshaping US elections. The order mandates documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration and requires all mail-in ballots be received by Election Day. The lawsuit argues the order is unconstitutional, infringing on states' rights to manage their own elections. The White House defended the order as promoting fair elections, while Democrats contend it's an anti-democratic power grab that could disenfranchise voters. The order also risks jeopardizing states' federal funding if not complied with.
