US EditionGroups sue over Trump’s order requiring proof of citizenship to vote
- President Trump's executive order seeking to overhaul the nation's elections, issued on March 25, is now facing legal challenges in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
- President Trump, who has long questioned the U.S. Electoral system and falsely claims his 2020 loss was due to widespread fraud, signed the executive order a week prior, arguing it would secure the vote against illegal voting by non-citizens.
- Democrats, including the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Governors Association, and Senate and House Democratic leaders, along with voting rights groups like the Campaign Legal Center and State Democracy Defenders Fund, filed lawsuits on Monday calling the order unconstitutional and seeking to block it.
- The order requires voters to prove they are U.S. Citizens, introduces new ballot deadline rules, and instructs the Department of Government Efficiency to cross-reference federal data with state voter lists, potentially threatening federal funding for non-complying states and raising concerns about voter disenfranchisement.
- Legal experts and Democrats argue that the order exceeds presidential authority, encroaches on powers reserved for the states and Congress to administer elections, and could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters, with one lawsuit stating, "The Executive Order seeks to impose radical changes on how Americans register to vote, cast a ballot, and participate in our democracy.
