WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic officials in 19 states including Michigan and Wisconsin are suing over President Donald Trump’s attempt to reshape elections across the U.S., calling it an unconstitutional invasion of states’ clear authority to run their own elections. The lawsuit filed Thursday is the fourth against the executive order issued just a week ago. It seeks to block key aspects of it, including new requirements that people provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a demand that all mail ballots be received by Election Day. The lawsuit says forcing such changes on the states violates the broad authority the Constitution gives states to set their own election rules.
