Proof of American citizenship on voter registration forms — that’s what a federal judge just ruled unconstitutional.
At least, it’s unconstitutional to require people to prove their citizenship on voter registration forms according to this judge… if PRESIDENT TRUMP is the one calling for it.
I’ll just go ahead and share up front what Rep. Darrell Issa said in response to this judge’s illogical overstep, because he summed up the entire issue in this simple post to his X account…
Here’s what happened.
President Trump’s executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting The Integrity of American Elections” was signed a month ago today, on March 25th.
It didn’t create anything new, in reality.
It simply reinforced the EXISTING ‘Federal prohibition on foreign nationals voting in Federal elections”, according to the Executive Order — which you can read in its’ entirety, here.
The ONLY thing President Trump’s executive order did was ENFORCE (which is what the Executive Branch does, by definition) existing law.
It set up a series of protocols designed to make sure the existing Federal laws preventing non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections were actually enforced.
And, as I said, since President Trump was the one behind it… a federal judge stepped up to block it.
