The Constitution makes clear that only the states & Congress can set rules for elections. Nevertheless, an executive order attempts to override mail-in voting laws. This week we asked the court for a preliminary injunction to block it. bit.ly/4afxaFN @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvma.bsky.social

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.

The League of Women Voters of Massachusetts is proud to join a strong coalition of other voting rights organizations in this lawsuit against the President's March 31st executive order. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...
