Leaguers,  did you see the news that LWV won its court case, League of Women Voters Education Fund v. Trump?  

In March, the president wrote an executive order trying to add impediments to voter registration.  The case won because under our Constitution and the relevant law, the President has no role in regulating federal elections.  Our constitution entrusts Congress and the States—not the President—with the authority to regulate federal elections. 

Congratulations to LWVUS on the win: https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/court-strikes-down-key-part-trumps-unlawful-voting-executive-order!

The ruling confirms that the President may not rewrite election law. The executive order was an example of an attempted overreach of power, bypassing the Constitution’s clear allocation of authority to Congress and the states to set election rules.  Here's the history of the lawsuit:  https://www.lwv.org/legal-center/league-women-voters-education-fund-v-trump-now-lulac-v-executive-office-president

Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter can register and vote free from expensive and unnecessary requirements.
