DSCC v. Trump
Case Overview
The Democratic Party (DSCC, DCCC, DNC, and DGA) sued the Trump administration over the new executive order titled “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections," which purports to exert federal control over election administration and limit mail-in ballots. Suits challenging the executive order by the League of United Latin American Citizens and the NAACP were consolidated with this case on April 10, 2026.

The Application
The plaintiffs argue the executive order exceeds presidential authority by attempting to regulate state-administered elections and violates the Voting Rights Act by restricting mail-in ballot access, which may disproportionately burden protected racial and ethnic groups.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in the D.C. District Court under Judge Carl J. Nichols, with parallel suits by LULAC and NAACP consolidated into this action as of April 10, 2026, pending judicial review of the executive order's legality.
