-We should be explicit about what the President is trying to do.

He wants to create a national voter database that is in the control of the federal government.

-On Monday, the Supreme Court clears the way for President Trump to possibly carry out a controversial executive order.

Washington Attorney General Nick Brown has been fighting it in the courts.

Welcome to The Newsfeed.

As part of our voting series this week, the Attorney General joins me for crucial updates affecting voters in our state.

Since April, Washington's AG Nick Brown has co-led a lawsuit with about two dozen other attorneys general to dispute the President's executive order to restrict voter eligibility by creating a nationwide list.

-So one President, one administration having the final say on who is on eligible voter list... One, that is contrary to the United States Constitution.

Two, it is highly problematic that the federal government would have control over this.

In combination with that same executive order that the President issued in March, he directed the United States Postal Service to only accept and deliver ballots from people that are on that list.

-In our early August interview with Brown, we spoke about the court's ruling on the case.

-We won at the district court level.

The judge said what the president was trying to do was illegal.

They appealed that to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

We won there again.

-But on Monday, the Supreme Court paused the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, meaning Trump could move forward with the plan to restrict voting by mail.

But it's unclear if that's possible this close to the midterms.

And NPR reports the legal fight will continue, as the Supreme Court did not weigh in on the legality of the executive order.

Next time, Washington state's highest election official debunks the pervasive claims about voter fraud.

I'm Paris Jackson.
