Washington state has filed a lawsuit to block the Trump administration's latest attempt to restrict mail-in voting, following a U. S. Supreme Court decision that cleared the way for the rule to proceed. The state argues the federal requirement, which would mandate specific security measures for mail-in ballots, imposes undue burdens on voters and violates state election laws. The lawsuit was filed days after the Supreme Court's ruling, signaling immediate legal action. The case could impact how mail-in voting is administered in Washington, a state that has relied heavily on mail-in ballots for decades. The court has not yet set a hearing date for the case.
