舒默、杰弗里斯与民主党政党委员会在华盛顿联邦法院提起诉讼，阻止特朗普本周签署的相关行政令

唐纳德·特朗普总统承认其邮寄投票行政令可能面临法律挑战，但仍签署了该命令，称其预料到“流氓法官”会提出反对。
国会民主党高层、民主党竞选机构及相关团体就特朗普本周签署的一项扩大联邦对选举干预范围的行政令，起诉特朗普总统及其政府。
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默，众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯，连同民主党参议员竞选委员会、民主党国会竞选委员会、民主党州长协会以及民主党全国委员会，于周四提起诉讼。
该诉讼在华盛顿特区美国地区法院提交，旨在阻止特朗普周二签署的针对邮寄投票和选民资格的行政令，与此同时参议院共和党人仍在就《保护美国选民资格法案》（SAVE Act）进行辩论。

“美国民众受够了共和党推高物价、破坏医保的议程，准备将他们赶下台，”舒默、杰弗里斯及各委员会主席在联合声明中表示。“这就是为什么唐纳德·特朗普正不顾一切地试图操纵我们的选举，让老年人、残疾美国人、军人、农村社区以及其他依赖邮寄投票的工薪阶层更难投票。这一举措明显违反宪法，我们将坚决反对。”
他们补充道：“我们正在采取行动挑战特朗普的行政令，以保护投票权，确保每一位符合资格的美国民众都能在投票箱前表达自己的声音。”
特朗普曾警告共和党人，如果他们无法通过《拯救美国法案》——考虑到参议院民主党一致反对，该法案通过可能性不大——共和党可能会在即将到来的中期选举中遭遇重大损失。

白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊反击称：“只有民主党政客和幕僚会对保障美国选举、确保只有符合资格的美国公民参与投票的合法举措感到不满。”
“特朗普总统竞选时就承诺保障我们的选举，美国民众再次将他送回白宫就是为了完成这项工作，”她说道。
本周早些时候签署的这项行政令，反映出特朗普在国会政治现实面前亲自出手干预选举事务。
该命令将创建基于政府数据库的美国公民联邦“公民名单”，要求在选举前将这些名单分享给各州，并赋予美国邮政总局（USPS）对邮寄投票后勤工作的管辖权。该命令还要求选民必须在美国邮政总局登记，才能收到邮寄选票。
该命令将允许美国邮政总局拒绝递送未列入其批准名单的选民的选票，并对邮寄选票信封实施新的联邦设计和处理规则。

民主党人士认为，该行政令在多个方面违反宪法，包括凌驾于各州选举管理权之上、违反三权分立原则、违反隐私法，并可能导致数百万选民被剥夺投票权。

他们辩称，特朗普“没有这种权力”在全国范围内对选举实施全面改革。
“如果任由总统的这些行动得逞，将从根本上改变州与联邦政府之间的宪法平衡，允许行政部门动用联邦权力向各州施压，迫使其采纳联邦主导的选举实施偏好，”他们在诉讼中写道。

Schumer, Jeffries sue Trump, accuse him of trying to ‘rig’ mail-in voting

President Donald Trump acknowledges potential legal challenges to his mail-in voting executive order, but signs it in anticipation of objection by ‘rogue judges.’
Top congressional Democrats, party campaign arms and allied groups are suing President Donald Trump and his administration over a sweeping order he signed this week that would increase federal involvement in elections.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., along with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Governors Association and the Democratic National Committee, filed the lawsuit Thursday.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., seeks to block Trump’s executive order signed Tuesday targeting mail-in voting and voter eligibility, as Senate Republicans continue debating the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.

“The American people are fed up with Republicans’ price-spiking, health care-gutting agenda and are ready to vote them out,” Schumer, Jeffries and the committee chairs said in a joint statement. “That’s why Donald Trump is desperately trying to rig our elections by making it harder to vote for seniors, Americans with disabilities, members of the military, rural communities and other working families who rely on vote-by-mail. This move is blatantly unconstitutional, and we will fight against it.”
“We are taking action to challenge Trump’s executive order to protect the right to vote and ensure every eligible American can make their voice heard at the ballot box,” they added.
Trump has warned Republicans that if they cannot pass the SAVE America Act — which is unlikely given unified Democratic opposition in the Senate — the GOP could face major losses in the upcoming midterm elections.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson fired back, “Only Democrat politicians and operatives would be upset about lawful efforts to secure American elections and ensure only eligible American citizens are casting ballots.”
“President Trump campaigned on securing our elections and the American people sent him back to the White House to get the job done,” she said.
The executive order, signed earlier this week, reflects Trump taking matters into his own hands amid the political reality in Congress.
The order would create federal “citizenship lists” of U.S. citizens using government databases, require those lists to be shared with states before elections, and give the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) authority over mail-in voting logistics. It would also require voters to be enrolled with USPS to receive mail ballots.
The order would allow USPS to refuse delivery of ballots from people not on its approved list and impose new federal design and processing rules for mail-in ballot envelopes.

Democrats argue the order is unconstitutional on several grounds, including that it overrides states’ authority over elections, violates the separation of powers, breaches privacy laws and risks disenfranchising millions of voters.

They argue Trump has “no such authority” to impose sweeping changes on elections nationwide.
“If permitted, the President’s actions would fundamentally alter the constitutional balance between the states and the federal government by allowing the executive branch to wield federal power to pressure states into adopting federal preferences for the conduct of elections,” they wrote in the lawsuit.
