President Donald Trump's recent executive order aimed at overhauling the U.S. election system is facing legal hurdles, with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and two nonprofit organizations filing lawsuits on Monday, arguing it is unconstitutional.

The first lawsuit was filed by the Campaign Legal Center and the State Democracy Defenders Action (SDDA) Fund. Later that day, the DNC, the Democratic Governors Association, and leaders from both the Senate and House Democratic parties followed with their own legal complaint.
