This month the League of Women Voters of the United States collaborated with others to file a lawsuit challenging several provisions of Executive Order 14248, which asserts certain requirements for federal elections. These measures to make voting more difficult include rejecting mail ballots not received by Election Day, requiring documented proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, and requiring the Department of Homeland Security and DOGE to review each state’s registered voter list to look for non-citizens registered to vote.

Partners of the League of Women Voters Education Fund and LWVUS in a lawsuit filed April 1 included LWV of Arizona, NAACP, Hispanic Federation, OCA—Asian Pacific American Advocates, and Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote.  Two days later the case was consolidated with two other challenges to the Executive Order. The resulting suit is called LULAC v. Executive Office of the President.

The plaintiffs assert that the Executive Order violates separation of federal and state powers. The U.S. League notes that the order does not solve any practical problem, since instances of non-citizens attempting to vote are extremely rare.

The League at all levels works to expand voting access rather than making it more difficult.
