CLC Sues to Block Trump Administration's Illegal Election Overreach
Voting is an essential American freedom; however, an executive order by President Donald Trump is illegally and unconstitutionally threatening that freedom for millions of Americans.
President Trump signed an executive order on March 25, 2025, directing several federal agencies to change the rules for federal elections. This is a clear violation of the Constitution.
The Constitution gives the power to regulate elections to the states. They set the eligibility standards for voting and the rules that govern when, where and how we vote.
Congress — not the president — has the power to pass laws that set national voting standards and override state laws governing federal elections. The Constitution does not give the president any role in setting election rules. The demands in Trump’s executive order are illegal and unconstitutional.
On behalf of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Secure Families Initiative (SFI) and Arizona Students’ Association (ASA), Campaign Legal Center (CLC) and State Democracy Defenders Fund (SDDF) are suing the Executive Office of the President over this unlawful presidential overreach.
