Virginia Attorney General joined a 21-state lawsuit challenging President Trump’s election executive order. The order seeks to limit mail voting and assert federal authority to override state election rules. The states say the order violates the Constitution and would disenfranchise voters by preempting state laws. The federal courts will decide quickly, and this case could determine national voting access and federal versus state election power.
