California to sue Trump administration again over mail-in voting restrictions

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday that California intends to sue the Trump administration again over President Donald Trump’s efforts to impose new restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the November midterms. The announcement came after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the administration to move forward with key parts of Trump’s March executive order on elections, pausing a lower court ruling that California and other states had previously won. Trump’s order called for the federal government to create state-by-state citizenship lists and for the U.S. Postal Service to impose new requirements on mail-in ballots.

The Supreme Court did not rule on if Trump’s order is legal. Instead, the decision allows the administration to continue pursuing the order while leaving the door open for California and other states to challenge specific policies as they are implemented — setting up another round of litigation just as mail-in voting will begin in some states. “California will be suing AGAIN to block these Orwellian rules from being implemented,” Newsom said in a news release. California and 22 other states, along with Washington, D.C., initially sued the Trump administration in April, arguing that the order illegally interfered with states’ constitutional authority to run elections. A federal judge agreed in June and blocked key parts of the order, finding that Trump had overstepped his authority. The judge also found that the Postal Service did not have authority to control mail-in voting.

  1. Now wait a minute. Where does it state the Federal Supremacy doesn’t hold?

    Oh that is right this was done with the CSA. Who are the most direct downstream from the political party that created the “War Between the States”? Ah that is right the Democrat party.

    Getting it yet. Calif. was a free State but the current Democrats could give a whit about that.

    The DSA needs to change their initials so it will be the CSA and truth be told.

    Do you vote for these idiots? They talk about Trump…how about Fauci now that is why the French Laundry was and is a joke on the votes of the entire State.

  2. Keep speaking your one-sided BS and maybe someone will believe you just like that orange azzhole in the white house does. Fauci and Newsom are not convicted felons by the way.
