Washington state has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent implementation of new mail-in voting requirements, following a U. S. Supreme Court decision that allowed the policy to proceed. The state argues the federal rule, which would require voters to provide identification when mailing ballots, conflicts with state law and could disenfranchise voters. The lawsuit was filed days after the Supreme Court's ruling on a similar case.
