On March 31, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an anti-voter executive order that threatens Americans’ freedom to vote. Danielle Lang, vice president of voting rights and the rule of law at Campaign Legal Center (CLC), issued the following joint statement alongside Norm Eisen of the Democracy Defenders Fund (DDF) and Juan Proaño of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC):

"Our coalition defeated President Trump's last illegal anti-voter executive order in court, and we will defeat this unlawful and incoherent one, too. We are drafting the lawsuit right now. The Constitution gives authority over elections to the states and Congress. The president does not have the power he is claiming. We will see him in court."
