Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson is suing the Biden Administration to stop an executive order requiring certain federal agencies to develop expanding voter registration strategies.
Watson, joined by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and state Attorney General Lynn Fitch, as well as others from eight states, filed the suit Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. Other states joined in the complaint are Montana, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina and South Dakota.
In their complaint, the plaintiffs say documents related to Executive Order 14019, which designates federal agencies to develop strategies to expand voter registration efforts, have wrongfully not been made available to the public
