🚨 BREAKING: A Massachusetts Federal Judge Just BLOCKED Trump’s Executive Order Requiring Proof Of Citizenship For Elections – Just The News
A federal judge on Friday blocked President Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship for elections.
Judge Denise J. Casper, of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, an Obama appointee, said U.S. states have a likelihood of success in their legal challenges to the order, The Associated Press reported.
“The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” Casper wrote in her ruling.
She also said that regarding citizenship, “There is no dispute (nor could there be) that U.S. citizenship is required to vote in federal elections and the federal voter registration forms require attestation of citizenship.”
