A group of Republican state attorneys general has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over an executive order aimed at expanding access to voter registration. The lawsuit targets an order issued by President Joe Biden in March 2021, directing federal agencies to promote voter registration and participation through various public points of contact.
The lawsuit, filed by nine Republican attorneys general, argues that Biden overstepped his authority with the directive, claiming it violates the US Constitution and undermines state voter registration systems. The states allege that the order seeks to turn federal agencies into voter registration organizations and politicizes interactions between bureaucrats and the public.
