Michigan ’s governor, secretary of state and three other officials are facing a lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign this week over granting some government offices the power to conduct voter registration.issued an executive order in December meant to designate certain state offices, including the Small Business Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs, to act as voter registration agencies.

The RNC alleges these actions violated Michigan law, which grants the authority to designate new voter registration agencies solely to the legislature.
