Nine States Challenge Biden's Voter Registration Executive Order
The lawsuit argues the executive order exceeds presidential authority and infringes on state electoral systems.
- The lawsuit was filed by nine Republican-led states in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.
- The states claim the executive order violates the Constitution and the Administrative Procedures Act.
- Biden's March 2021 order directs federal agencies to promote voter registration through public interactions.
- The plaintiffs argue the order turns federal agencies into voter registration entities and bypasses public scrutiny.
- A previous legal challenge to the executive order was dismissed, with an appeal pending before the Supreme Court.
