Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Efforts to Require Proof of Citizenship to Register to Vote

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "Reshape election processes"? After Trump issued an executive order last month "preserving and protecting the integrity of American elections," three separate lawsuits were filed in the D.C. federal court to challenge the policy, including lawsuits filed by the Democratic National Committee (with New York Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries), the League of United Latin American Citizens and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Congress really needs to stop sitting these issues out and codify Trump's executive orders into law.
30% : In a 120-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked the Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and ordering that election officials "assess" the citizenship of anyone who receives public assistance before allowing them to register.
23% : The people elected Donald Trump in part to keep the millions of illegal immigrants welcomed in by the Biden administration from registering to vote, but one judge thinks differently. Donald Trump's unilateral effort to reshape election processes is an attempt to "short-circuit Congress's deliberative process by executive order," a federal judge in Washington, D.C. wrote Thursday afternoon.
