Court Blocks Trump’s Latest Attack on Voting Rights

Hi friend,

In a major victory for democracy and the Constitution, a federal judge has struck down Donald Trump’s latest voter suppression scheme — blocking his unlawful attempt to require documentary proof of citizenship for federal voter registration.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that Trump’s executive order was an unconstitutional power grab, violating the separation of powers and overstepping presidential authority. As she made clear, the president has no role in setting voter qualifications or changing election procedures — those powers belong to Congress and the states.

Civil rights groups, the ACLU, and Democratic leaders fought tirelessly to stop this unconstitutional assault on voting rights. And thanks to this landmark decision, millions of Americans can continue to register and vote freely — without unnecessary burdens or intimidation.

✍️ Add your name to applaud Judge Kollar-Kotelly and the advocates defending the right to vote!

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,
