Judge Blocks Trump's Proof-of-Citizenship Requirement
A federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump cannot require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration using the federal form.
District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly stated that Trump's requested requirement cannot be enforced, following a lawsuit from Democratic and civil rights groups.
- The groups argued that the citizenship proof requirement would block eligible voters from registering.
- Trump's executive order aimed to overhaul federal elections, including proof of citizenship and use of paper ballots.
