Democratic officials in 19 states, including Michigan, filed a lawsuit against President Trump's attempt to reshape elections across the U.S., calling it an unconstitutional invasion of states' clear authority to run their own elections.
Thursday's lawsuit is the fourth against the executive order issued just a week ago. It seeks to block key aspects of it, including new requirements that people provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a demand that all mail ballots be received by Election Day.
White House spokesperson Harrison Fields responded to the lawsuit Friday, calling the proof-of-citizenship requirements "common sense" and objections from Democrats "insane."
"The Trump administration is standing up for free, fair, and honest elections and asking this basic question is essential to our Constitutional Republic," he said in a statement.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts by the Democratic attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.
Comment:
When a non-citizen illegally votes in our elections, they violate everyone's right to vote.
This Democrat lawsuit against requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is proof that the Democrats are allowing non-citizens to cancel-out the votes of American citizens.
The Democrats are against voting right.
