A federal judge has ruled against President Trump's March 25 executive order aimed at modifying U.S. election processes, siding with a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general. The order, which mandated proof of citizenship for voter registration and imposed conditions on federal election funding based on ballot deadlines, was labeled unconstitutional for overstepping state powers. The White House defended the measure as necessary for maintaining the integrity of elections, but opponents argue it infringes on constitutional rights.
The directive "usurps the States' constitutional power and seeks to amend election law by fiat," argued the Democratic state attorneys general.
The White House has defended the order as "standing up for free, fair and honest elections" and called proof of citizenship a "commonsense" requirement.
