On Friday, a federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump’s request to add a proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form cannot be enforced.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that the proof-of-citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers, siding with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the Trump administration over his executive order.
In a statement issued on Friday, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to ensure only American citizens are casting ballots in American elections. This is so commonsense that only the Democrat Party would file a lawsuit against it. We expect to be vindicated by a higher court.”
