Although executive orders have been used by presidents as far back as George Washington, they have become the subject of much discussion since the start of the second Trump administration. Immediately upon reassuming office, Trump issued a flurry of executive orders that could be consequential for millions of Americans. But the president is not a king nor dictator, and executive orders are not a blank check for the president to exercise his will without Constitutional checks and balances.

Wealthy special interests have increasingly dominated the financing of our elections, threatening to drown out the voices of everyday Americans. Running an electoral campaign for public office can come with an exorbitant cost, which helps explain why megadonors — or the outside groups they bankroll — routinely end up footing the bill and, in the process, discourage those without wealthy networks from running.

In a major legal victory, a federal judge just struck a blow against Tennessee’s unequal and inaccessible felony disenfranchisement regime, ruling that Tennessee election officials cannot wrongly deny Tennesseans with past felony convictions their freedom to vote if they are eligible and the state must fully inform potential voters with past felony convictions of their eligibility.

Free and fair elections rely on every voter having the ability to make their voice heard. Unfortunately, voters with disabilities are often met with a range of disproportionately burdensome barriers — from polling locations without ramps to restrictions on accessible voting options like vote-by-mail — that limit their ability to access the ballot and ultimately undermine their freedom to vote. Increasing accessible voting options helps all Americans make their voices heard.

Our democracy works best when every voter can participate, and civic engagement groups help make that possible by helping more people engage in our democracy and assisting those who need it. But Alabamians are now confronted with a new law that restricts their ability to help their neighbors vote and make their voices heard. On March 20, 2024, Alabama enacted a law, SB 1, that would impose significant consequences for anyone who assists voters in the absentee ballot application process.
