Major Legal Setbacks for Trump on Voter Registration Citizenship Requirements
In recent court rulings, a federal judge has permanently blocked several key provisions of Trump’s voter registration regulations that mandated proof of citizenship for voters. The judge deemed these requirements unconstitutional, effectively nullifying Trump’s initiative aimed at tightening voter ID regulations. This decision marks a significant victory for voting rights advocates and Democrats, as it prevents the implementation of citizenship proof on federal voting forms and mail-in ballots. Despite these legal challenges, Trump’s allies continue to push for similar measures, seeking to revive the controversial demand for citizenship verification in future voting processes.
