AG Brown releases statement on President Trump’s latest unlawful executive order on elections

Attorney General Nick Brown today released the following statement on President Trump's latest unlawful executive order attempting to exert control over elections:

"It's no surprise that the same man that claims he won the 2020 election and advances nonsense conspiracy theories now wants total control over elections, but he has no authority here - a fact already reaffirmed by the courts in this administration's ongoing attacks on the right to vote. In January, we successfully overturned a previous executive order by the president attempting to usurp the role of the states and Congress in elections. The law is on our side, there is nothing to support the Election-Denier-in-Chief's voter fraud claims, and we are once again prepared to defend Washingtonians' rights."
