Press release on the letter head of Anthong G. Brown, Maryland Attorney General FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 3, 2026 Media Contacts: press@oag.state.md.us 410-576-7009 Attorney General Brown Challenges Unlawful Executive Order Attempting to Exert Federal Control Over Elections Executive Order Threatens to Disenfranchise Eligible Voters and Violates States’ Authority to Administer Elections BALTIMORE, MD – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today joined a coalition of 23 attorneys general and one governor in suing President Trump in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, challenging his unlawful Executive Order that attempts to interfere with states’ constitutional authority to administer elections by restricting voter eligibility and mail voting to lists of voters pre-authorized by the federal government... “This blatantly unlawful Executive Order threatens to strip thousands of Marylanders of the right to vote. By threatening state election officials with criminal prosecution and enlisting the US Postal Service in this unconstitutional effort, President Trump is staging an unprecedented assault on the cornerstone of our democracy,” said Attorney General Brown. “Our Office will not allow the President to weaponize the federal government to disenfranchise those who have a right to have their voice heard in the ballot box."...Joining [AG] Brown in filing this lawsuit are the attorneys general of California, Massachusetts, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, and the Governor of Pennsylvania.
