Former Georgia state Representative Stacey Abrams on Saturday criticized President Trump's executive order regarding mail-in voting, calling it unconstitutional and illegal.

Abrams, who was the Democratic nominee for Georgia governor in 2018, characterized the order as part of a broader pattern of voting restrictions. She stated the executive action was "patently illegal" and consistent with what she described as Republican voter suppression tactics.

The former state legislator linked Trump's order to what she called a decade-long strategy by Republicans to restrict voting access. Abrams has been a prominent advocate for voting rights since her gubernatorial campaign.

The executive order's specific provisions and legal authority were not detailed in available reports. Trump has frequently criticized mail-in voting procedures, particularly during the 2020 election cycle.

Abrams continues to be an influential voice in Democratic politics and voting rights advocacy following her close gubernatorial race in Georgia.
