New Jersey joined 23 states in a lawsuit against the federal administration over President Donald Trump’s executive order to restrict mail-in ballot voting. The order directs the U.S. Postal Service to send mail ballots to a pre-authorized list of voters, and threatens states and elections officials with criminal prosecution and loss of federal funding if they do not comply. That order violates the U.S. Constitution, which grants states with the primary authority to administer elections, the lawsuit says. The suit also argues that the executive order would require states to flout their own voter roll procedures, vote-by-mail systems, and voter registration laws. The lawsuit was filed on Apr. 3 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
