A Federal Judge Strikes Down Key Aspects of Trump’s Voting Order

In a significant legal maneuver, a federal judge has put the brakes on crucial components of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at tightening voter registration processes in federal elections. The order included a contentious requirement mandating voters to prove their citizenship before they could register.

Massachusetts U.S. District Judge Denise Casper, appointed during the Obama administration, delivered a ruling asserting that the authority to regulate elections rests solely with Congress. She emphasized that lawmakers have not enacted any legislation that empowers Trump to implement such measures or to delegate his authority in this arena.

Judge Casper’s decision effectively nullified parts of Trump’s March order that instructed federal and local officials to require documentary verification of citizenship when individuals register to vote. It also aimed to scrutinize citizenship status prior to distributing voter registration forms at various public assistance agencies, including Medicaid offices. Notably, similar provisions had already faced legal challenges in Washington, D.C., where a federal judge ruled against them in a case brought by voting rights advocates and Democratic party officials.

This latest ruling, stemming from a lawsuit initiated by the Democratic attorneys general of 19 states, went even further. It not only blocked the enforcement of the citizenship proof requirement for military personnel and citizens residing abroad but also prohibited measures that would prevent states from counting ballots mailed on or before Election Day, even if they arrived later. Additionally, the judge prevented states from disqualifying voters who submit ballots with minor procedural errors.

“Only Congress possesses the authority to modify state election regulations,” Judge Casper articulated, highlighting that such powers have been exercised through the enactment of the National Voter Registration Act and other legislative frameworks.

Furthermore, she pointedly noted, “Defendants cannot point to any source of authority for the President to impose” these new stipulations outlined in the executive order.

Conclusion: A Victory for Electoral Integrity

In essence, this ruling serves as a poignant reminder of the checks and balances fundamental to American democracy. It underscores the notion that while executive orders can initiate change, they cannot supersede the legislative process, particularly in matters as critical as voting rights. As the legal landscape surrounding voting continues to evolve, this decision reinforces the principle that electoral integrity must be safeguarded through duly enacted laws rather than unilateral executive action.
