Mail-in voting provides vital access to the polls for many voters, like people with disabilities, seniors, and those without reliable access to transportation. President Trump has no basis to interfere with that right, let alone co-opt the U.S. Postal Service to do so. We'll see you in court.

BREAKING: We're challenging President Trump's executive order that aims to restrict mail-in voting. Once again, the president is trying to seize power he doesn't have at the expense of our democracy.
