WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Five non-profits including three voter advocacy groups filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s social media executive order on Thursday, arguing it hurts the rights of voters who receive information through social media about mail-in voting.
This comes after a separate lawsuit was filed by the Washington-based Center for Democracy & Technology, backed by large tech companies, that argued Trump’s social media order violates the First Amendment.
