LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has launched another lawsuit against the Trump administration.

This time, Nessel joined a coalition of 24 attorneys general and governors in a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s March 31 Executive Order (EO) that cracks down on mail-in ballots and election fraud. In a press release, Nessel referred to Trump’s EO as interference in state elections because it restricts “voter eligibility” and compiles a “federally authorized lists of absentee voters.”

“Mail-in ballots are a safe and secure voting option that over 2.2 million Michiganders availed themselves to in the 2024 election, many who presumably used that choice to vote for this very President,” Nessel said. She underscored a popular Democratic talking point which claims Trump is trying to make the voting process more difficult. “President Trump is working unilaterally to make it harder to vote from home for single moms, seniors, and the military serving overseas.”

Trump’s EO addresses the issue in a unique way: it bars the U.S. Postal Service from delivering absentee ballots to anyone not on the nationally compiled list. “The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary,” Trump said when signing the EO this week. “It’s horrible, what’s gone on. It’s very clearly covered … I think this will help a lot with elections.”

In 2018, Michigan voters approved expanded absentee voting. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer echoed similar sentiments expressed by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson earlier this week. “Let me be clear: our elections are safe and secure,” Whitmer said.
