This request, supported by 12 states, seeks to implement new rules for federal elections. However, 23 states and the District of Columbia are challenging the order and have urged the Court to reject the administration's appeal.

Protect Voter Access

Protecting Voter Rights and Access to the Ballot

Democrats contend that the executive order on mail-in voting erects unnecessary barriers to voting, potentially disenfranchising eligible citizens. They argue that states should have the autonomy to manage their election systems without federal interference that restricts voter access, and that the order's legality is questionable.
