A group of 20 Republican attorneys general signed a letter on March 3 calling on the leaders of the U.S. House and Senate to consider a number of Constitutional flaws in the major election overhaul bill being pushed by Democrats.

The letter, sent by Indiana Attorney general Todd Rokita, points to several potential legal flaws in the For the People Act of 2021, a top legislative priority for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). The signatories warn that they would take legal action if the bill becomes law. The bill was passed in the House late on March 3 by a razor-thin margin.
