Judge blocks parts of President Donald Trump’s elections order
A judge partially blocks parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order related to elections. Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a U.S. District Judge, granted Democrats and voting rights groups’ requests to stop the citizenship requirement. Also blocked was the part of the order requiring public assistance enrollees to have their citizenship reviewed before receiving a federal voter registration form.
From AP News:
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington sided with voting rights groups and Democrats to grant a preliminary injunction to stop the citizenship requirement from moving forward while the lawsuit plays out.
She also blocked part of the Republican president’s executive order requiring public assistance enrollees to have their citizenship assessed before getting access to the federal voter registration form.
But she denied other requests from a group of Democratic plaintiffs, including refusing to block Trump’s order to tighten mail ballot deadlines. Also denied in the order was the Democrats’ request to stop Trump from directing the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Government Efficiency to review state voter lists alongside immigration databases.
The judge’s order halts the Trump administration’s efforts to push through a proof-of-citizenship mandate that Republicans have said is needed to restore public confidence in elections. Voting in federal elections by noncitizens is already illegal and can result in felony charges and deportation.
Two groups of nonpartisan organizations and a group of national Democrats had sued to block Trump’s order, calling it unconstitutional. They argued it violates the Constitution’s so-called Elections Clause, which gives states, not the president, the authority to determine how elections are run.
The plaintiffs also argued that Trump’s order asserts power that he does not have over an independent agency. That agency, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, sets voluntary voting system guidelines and maintains the federal voter registration form.

We are one of the only countries that does not require proof of citizenship.
Jesus, this should be an easy fix o get into line with the rest of the world.
But how would the Democrats get more voters then?
Cemeteries. If headstone too weathered to read, break or some paper and a #2 pencil and start rubbing.
^THIS^ Odd that all the foreign countries I’ve been in never allowed me to vote in any of their elections, be it local, regional, or national.
Blue states have been inflating their voter rolls for decades in an attempt to challenge the mandate of Republican Presidents by arguing they don’t have the popular vote.
We cannot allow the elimination of the Electoral College.
Correct. Having non-citizens vote in elections is one of the D-rat tactics to commit election fraud. In addition, they want no voter ID at the polls and very loose rules for absentee and mail-in ballots. They are determined to have their party become the de facto one party rulers of the country.
More than one demokrat has already admitted the reason they sent illegals to blue states was to make an impact on population so that more Representatives would be authorized based on population levels. No additional voters needed to add more Dem reps to congress and change the demographics / House political balance.
I’m more interested in what is going on with Justice Hannah Dugan. 757.02 of the Wisconsin code lays out the oath of office and it seems likely she violated that
She also violated federal laws on obstruction of justice and harboring an illegal alien.
These people have the story as well as NPR(?).
