Judge Bars Trump From Implementing Proof Of Citizenship Requirement To Vote

A federal judge permanently blocked President Donald Trump's administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper in Boston, which converts a previous preliminary injunction, rejects the administration's argument that the lawsuit was premature and finds that the Constitution grants states and Congress authority over elections. This decision follows multiple legal challenges against the order, which sought to require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, prevent mail ballots from being counted after Election Day, and punish non-compliant states with federal funding.
