League of United Latin American Citizens v. Executive Office of the President (elections EO, DDC)
Case Overview
The League of United Latin American Citizens sued the Trump administration over President Trump's elections executive order which purports to regulate federal elections by directing the Election Assistance Commission to require a citizenship document to register to vote. This case was consolidated with similar suits brought by the DNC and the League of Women Voters Education Fund.
The Application
Plaintiffs challenged whether the President's unilateral direction to the EAC to impose citizenship documentation requirements for voter registration exceeded his constitutional and statutory authority, given that election administration is primarily a state function and voting access is protected by federal statute.
The Conclusion
The court decided the case, resolving whether the challenged executive order constituted a permissible exercise of presidential authority or an unconstitutional and unlawful incursion into state election administration and voter rights protections.
