民主党大型团体组成的联盟于周三起诉特朗普政府，要求废除一项将扩大联邦对邮寄投票影响力的行政令，其中包括创建每个州符合投票资格的美国公民名单。
这起由民主党全国委员会、民主党州长协会以及两个主要民主党竞选团体在华盛顿联邦法院提起的诉讼，是对特朗普总统周二签署的这项行政令的首次重大法律挑战。美国国会两大民主党领袖——参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默和众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯也被列为该诉讼的原告。
特朗普的行政令要求国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林利用社会保障管理局的数据，编制一份每个州符合投票资格的美国公民名单。该行政令还指示美国邮政总局只能向每个州联邦批准的邮寄投票名单上的人士邮寄缺席选票。
一名白宫官员本周早些时候告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，不遵守这项行政令的州可能面临失去联邦资金的风险。目前尚不清楚如果符合资格的美国公民被排除在名单之外会有什么后果。
周三提起诉讼的原告方辩称，这项行政令违宪地侵犯了国会和各州管理选举的权力，因为宪法并未赋予总统直接管理联邦选举进行方式的权力。他们在诉讼中将该行政令称为特朗普为“为自身所谓党派利益改写选举规则”的诡计的一部分。
“我国宪法的起草者们预见到了这种对绝对权力的渴望。他们认识到这种渴望会对有序的自由构成威胁，会像强酸一样侵蚀自治，”民主党团体在一份64页的起诉书中写道。“这种精心划分的权力架构在特朗普总统的攻击下始终屹立不倒。”
诉讼称这项行政令“复杂且令人困惑”，并称其“大幅限制了美国人通过邮寄方式投票的能力，侵犯了传统上属于各州的权力”。诉讼还指控该行政令“径直违反了宪法、各州和国会提供的无数其他保障——这些机构确实有权管理选举”。
这些团体由律师马克·伊莱亚斯代理，并要求以违反第一、第五和第十修正案为由废除这项行政令。起诉书中还指控该行政令违反了分权原则，以及违反了《行政程序法》、《选举权法案》和其他联邦法律。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系白宫请其就这起诉讼置评。
这项行政令出台之际，特朗普公开敦促国会通过邮寄投票限制法案，他毫无根据地声称邮寄投票充斥着欺诈行为。他呼吁议员们通过《拯救法案》，该法案将包含公民身份证明要求，旨在防止非公民登记投票——而这种情况本已极为罕见。
去年，特朗普签署了一项行政令，要求联邦邮寄选民登记表格必须提供公民身份证明。该行政令还允许联邦政府扣留未签署选举相关信息共享协议的州的国会指定选举联邦资金。
那项行政令在多个法院被推翻。审理相关案件的一名法官——美国地区法官科琳·科拉尔-科特利在其意见书中写道，总统无权直接更改联邦选举程序。
“这些合并案件中提出的第一个问题是，总统单方面是否有权指示更改联邦选举程序，”科拉尔-科特利写道。“因为我国宪法将选举管理的责任分配给了各州和国会，本院认定总统无权指示此类更改。”

DNC and top Democratic leaders sue Trump over mail-in voting executive order

A coalition of major Democratic groups sued the Trump administration on Wednesday, seeking to strike down an executive order that would exert more federal influence over mail-in voting — including by creating lists of U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state.
The suit — filed in D.C. federal court by the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Governors Association and two major Democratic campaign groups — is the first major legal challenge to the executive order, which President Trump signed on Tuesday. The top two Democrats in Congress, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are also listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
Mr. Trump’s order requires Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin to put together a list of U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in every state, using data from the Social Security Administration. It also directs the U.S. Postal Service to only send absentee ballots to people on each state’s federally approved mail-in ballot list.
States that don’t go along with the executive order are at risk of losing federal funding, a White House official told CBS News earlier this week. It’s not clear what would happen if an eligible U.S. citizen is left off the list.
The plaintiffs in Wednesday’s lawsuit argued the order unconstitutionally intrudes on Congress and the states’ power to regulate elections, since the Constitution doesn’t give the president any direct authority over how federal elections are conducted. Their suit cast the order as part of a gambit by Mr. Trump to “rewrite election rules for his own perceived partisan advantage.”
“Our Constitution’s Framers anticipated this kind of desire for absolute power. They recognized the menace it would pose to ordered liberty and the ways in which it would corrode self-government like an acid,” the Democratic groups wrote in a 64-page complaint. “That careful division of authority has held fast against President Trump’s attacks.”
The suit called the executive order “convoluted and confusing,” and said it “dramatically restricts the ability of Americans to vote by mail, impinging on traditional state authority.” It also alleged the order “runs headlong into myriad other guarantees provided by the Constitution, the States, and Congress — authorities that do regulate elections.”
The groups are being represented by attorney Marc Elias, and are asking for the executive order to be struck down on First, Fifth and Tenth Amendment grounds. The complaint also alleges a violation of the separation of powers, plus violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, the Voting Rights Act and other federal laws.
CBS News has reached out to the White House for comment on the lawsuit.
The executive order comes as Mr. Trump has publicly pressed Congress to pass restrictions on mail-in voting, which he has alleged — without evidence — is rife with fraud. He has called on lawmakers to pass the SAVE Act, which would include proof-of-citizenship requirements aimed at preventing non-citizens from registering to vote, something that is already extremely rare.
Last year, Mr. Trump signed an executive order that sought to impose proof-of-citizenship requirements on federal mail voter registration forms. It also would have allowed the federal government to withhold congressionally directed federal funds for elections from states that did not enter into election-related information-sharing agreements.
That order was struck down in multiple courts. One judge who ruled on it, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, wrote in her opinion that the president does not have authority to direct changes to the federal election procedures.
“The first question presented in these consolidated cases is whether the President, acting unilaterally, may direct changes to federal election procedures,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote. “Because our Constitution assigns responsibility for election regulation to the States and to Congress, this Court holds that the President lacks the authority to direct such changes.”
