DAGA Co-Chair Statement on Trump’s Attempt to Disenfranchise Voters

April 1, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) released the following statement after Trump signed his executive order that will restrict mail-in voting and limit access to mail-in ballots nationwide.

Statement from Illinois AG Kwame Raoul and Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, DAGA Co-Chairs:

 “President Trump’s executive order is a blatantly unconstitutional attempt to undermine our elections and disenfranchise voters all across the country. The Constitution gives states clear authority over the ‘times, places and manner of holding elections.’ Mail-in voting has always been a secure way to vote, and for many, the only way they can vote. Make no mistake, his attempts to attack free and fair elections will fail because Democratic AGs will use every tool we have to continue to hold President Trump accountable when he violates the rule of law and attacks states’ rights.”
