DNC Sues Trump Administration Over Changes to Overseas Voter Registration Form
The Democratic National Committee has sued the Trump administration, alleging that the Department of Defense secretly removed a checkbox from an overseas voter registration form. This box, used since 2013, allowed U.S. citizens who have never lived in the country—often children of citizens—to register to vote from abroad. The lawsuit claims the change was made under a declared emergency without proper notice, potentially restricting voting access for thousands ahead of the midterm elections. The Department of Defense has not commented on the allegations.
