In response to Trump’s Executive Order to disenfranchise millions of legal voters including military members serving overseas and married women who have changed their names, weaken America’s elections, and grant DOGE and Elon Musk unfettered access to the nation’s voter rolls, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene, DNC Chair Ken Martin, and DSCC Chair Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement:
“America was founded on the belief of government by the people for the people – decided by fair and free elections. Donald Trump and DOGE, in an attempt to rationalize their repeatedly debunked conspiracy theories, now want to suppress the vote of military members serving overseas, married women who have changed their names, and millions of Americans who vote by mail. This Executive Order is reckless, dangerous and illegal. It is a brazen attempt by Trump to throw out legal votes cast by millions of American citizens and disenfranchise voters so he can ignore election outcomes he does not like. The Executive Order is anti-American, anti-democracy, and another unconstitutional overreach by this corrupt administration.”
