Friend,

President Trump just signed an executive order that threatens Americans’ freedom to vote and tramples states’ authority to run elections. This order is a shameful attack on American voters — particularly women voters — and their right to participate in our democracy.

The League of Women Voters of the United States issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump's signed executive order, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” that threatens Americans’ freedom to vote and tramples states’ constitutional authority to run their own elections.
