voteinorout on Instagram: "#WesMoore and #AnthonyBrown are suing #DonaldTrump over an executive order they say would federalize voter lists and restrict mail-in ballots, warning it could deny eligible voters access. #Elections Moore and Brown said the order would “create a federally controlled list of eligible voters” and direct USPS to send ballots only to those on that list, while threatening states with “criminal prosecution and the loss of federal funding” if they don’t comply. They argue the Constitution gives states primary authority over elections and called the order “unlawful,” warning it could force rapid changes, disrupt systems millions rely on for vote by mail, and increase the risk that eligible voters are denied their right to vote. — Maryland’s elections are safest in the hands of Marylanders – not President Trump.
