After filing a new motion for a preliminary injunction regarding Trump’s illegal executive order on mail-in voting, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, DNC Chair Ken Martin, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene, DSCC Chair Kirsten Gillibrand, and DGA Chair Andy Beshear released the following statement:
“Today, we are taking strong, joint legal action to stop Trump’s unlawful attempt to restrict mail-in voting through the Postal Service. Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling did not say that Trump’s executive order attacking voting rights is constitutional. But the law is clear: States have the authority to run elections — not the president.
“We will not stand by while Trump and Republicans try to unnecessarily inject chaos and confusion into our elections, just weeks before voting begins. We are asking a district court to immediately stop the Trump administration from unlawfully disrupting mail-in voting in every state. Democrats will continue fighting every day until Trump’s illegal executive order, and all of his other attempts to undermine our free and fair elections, are completely thrown out.”
