Block Trump's Federal Voter List Executive Order

To: Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand, Rep. Tonko

From: A verified voter in Ballston Spa, NY

May 28

You need to take action to block Trump's executive order creating a federal voter list and restricting mail voting. The Constitution is unambiguous: states and Congress set election rules, not the president. This order is an unconstitutional power grab, and the fact that a court hasn't blocked it yet doesn't make it legitimate. Election officials across the country have already warned this list is ripe for abuse and could cause chaos at the polls. Trump's own first election executive order — requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register — has been blocked by multiple federal judges for good reason. This second order follows the same playbook, built on his repeated, groundless claims that mail voting is fraudulent, claims that Republican-led audits and investigations have debunked again and again. The federal government has no business deciding who gets a mail ballot.
