President Joe Biden’s order to get people to the polls has been sued, and the case is now on its way to the Supreme Court. Some legal experts say this is “the most important legal issue” at the moment.
Executive Order 14019 is the order in question. Its main goal is to protect the right to vote and use state agencies to make sure there are no unfair practices. There are over twenty Republican politicians who are challenging the executive order. They say it’s Biden’s way of going after certain groups and trying to get re-elected.
They didn’t have enough proof, and the judge said they “lacked standing to bring the lawsuit,” but the group says they will take the case to the Supreme Court.
Erik Kaardal, the lawyer for the lawmakers, said, “We think it’s really important for President Biden to be held accountable.”
Kaardal went on, “For him to break such a big law when everyone else has to follow the rules, even small ones… It’s clear that President Biden issued an order without getting it approved by Congress in order to win re-election. It’s not funny.”
The complaint claims that the executive order wasn’t always the president’s idea and was mostly written by a “third-party non-governmental organization.”
What the court papers say is that “the President’s action nullifies the votes of the individual legislators, violates the Electors Clause and the Elections Clause, and robs the legislators of their particular rights.”
Many people are afraid that this executive order will change the result of the election. The brief said, “The President told every executive agency of the federal government to do activities related to voter registration and mobilization, even if those agencies are not allowed to do so by federal law.”
