Leader Schumer Statement After Judge Blocks Trump’s Executive Order Restricting Mail-In Voting

Washington, D.C. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after a federal judge blocked Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to create a federal voter list and restrict mail-in ballots:

“Today’s decision is a very significant victory for free and fair elections and a defeat for Donald Trump’s vile efforts to make it harder for people to vote.

“Once again, the courts have reaffirmed that Trump’s efforts to subvert the election are patently unconstitutional.

“Trump’s vendetta against mail-in voting—which is safe and secure—is about picking who can vote and avoiding accountability.

“Democrats will continue fighting every day to block all of Trump’s illegal actions and ensure that Americans can freely cast their ballots this year.”
