Massachusetts Trump Election Integrity Executive Order Challenge
State of California v. Trump
Lawsuit filed by 19 states against the Trump administration challenging key provisions of Executive Order 14248 which could disenfranchise millions. The plaintiffs allege that President Donald Trump exceeded his executive authority in attempting to change state procedures for federal elections. They argue that imposing documentary proof of citizenship requirements for the federal registration form, conditioning election funding for states on compliance with parts of the order and targeting states with extended mail ballot receipt deadlines interferes with states’ constitutional power to regulate the time, place, and manner of federal elections. The plaintiffs seek a court order blocking the administration from implementing the challenged provisions of the executive order.
STATUS: Plaintiffs filed their complaint on April 3, 2025. The government has not responded yet.
