Panic at the DNC: Schumer, Jeffries Sue Over Trump's Mail-In Ballot Fraud Crackdown
By Rusty Weiss | 7:50 AM on April 02, 2026
The Democratic National Committee, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, along with their major campaign arms, filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday to block President Trump’s executive order cracking down on mail-in voting rules ahead of the midterms.
The order, as reported by RedState's Ward Clark earlier this week, requires federal agencies to verify U.S. citizenship using Social Security and DHS data, directs the Postal Service to send absentee ballots only to voters on approved state lists, and uses unique barcodes for tracking.
The swift and aggressive legal response reeks of panic from Democrats who have spent years defending the current system as an ironclad defense of democracy. It's a blatant attempt to stop the President from taking a straightforward step to stop potential fraud. Why would the resistance party be in such stark opposition to fighting fraud?
The groups named in the lawsuit contend that Trump is trying to "rewrite election rules for his own perceived partisan advantage."
