The judge blocks Trump’s order that expands to voters
A federal judge blocked on Thursday parts of the executive order of President Donald Trump that expanded the city’s city test requirements for people who are registered to vote, saying that the president has no constitutional authority to regulate the elections.
Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly granted a preliminary judicial order against some elements of the Trump order after the voting rights groups and the Democratic Party filed complaints against, saying that his challenge is likely to prevail.
“Our The Constitution trusts Congress and States, not the President, with the authority to regulate Federal elections, ”he wrote. “According to this assignment of power, Congress is currently debating legislation that would affect many of the changes that the president intends to order. … And there is no legal delegation of The authority to the Executive Power allows the President to the deliberative process of the Congress of Short Circuit by Executive Order. “
Trump’s team “has He hardly offered defense of the president’s order on merits, “he continued.”Instead, they argue that the wrong plaintiffs have been brought at the wrong time. “
Kollar-Kotelly also granted a court order on a part of the Trump order that requires federal agencies to register people to vote to evaluate a person’s citizenship before giving them a voter registration form.

The complaint against Trump’s order does not ask the court to declare if Trump’s efforts would be legal if they are implemented, only about whether he has the authority to dictate the policy.
The United Latin American Citizens League, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, celebrated Thursday’s ruling as a great victory.
“Today’s ruling is a victory for voters throughout the country, particularly color voters, and our democracy,” said its national president, Roman Palomares, in a statement. “The efforts to silence the voice and votes of the United States electorate should not be maintained because our democracy depends on all voters feeling sure that they can vote freely and that their vote will be accurately counted.”
Trump signed the executive order in question last month, in part ordering federal agencies and officials to change the registration form of federal voters to require citizenship test. That would require people to present a passport or real identification when registering to vote.

During the signature ceremony, the White House Secretary, Will Scharf, described the order “The furthest executive action taken” in the history of the United States.
The review is based on Trump’s false statements that electoral fraud is unbridled in US elections. In reality, it is very rare, as evidenced by dozens of demands that failed to emerge any evidence of generalized fraud after the presidential elections of 2020.
Kollar-Kotelly refused to issue precautionary measures in other elements of Trump’s executive order, including a provision that punishes the states for counting some ballots received after the day of the elections, noting that other courts are reviewing similar demands.
