Washington Attorney General Nick Brown filed a lawsuit Friday against President Donald Trump’s attempt to alter election procedures across the U.S., challenging what he described as an unconstitutional and illegal attack on democracy.
Washington teamed with Oregon to file Friday’s elections lawsuit, which is similar to one filed Thursday by California and 18 other states, Brown said.
The legal actions are directed at an executive order by Trump last week that calls for requiring people to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote and for mail-in ballots to be received by elections offices no later than Election Day.
