Washington – Thursday a federal judge agreed to block President Trump’s parts Executive Order which wants to reconsider US electionsA provision with a provision that will require a documentary evidence of US citizenship for registration for voting in the federal elections.
The US District Judge Colin Cotlie agreed to partially allow the initial order to seek the initiative by three different groups, including the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party, and they found that they could win in their challenges.
Judge Trump blocked the administration from the implementation of two provisions of the Executive Order last month: The Election Assistance Commission, a Federal Independent Regulatory Commission to add the National Voter Registration Form to the first order “Documentary evidence of US citizenship”; And the second one ordered the federal voter registration agencies to “evaluate” citizenship before providing a federal voter registration form to people with public assistance.
Former President Bill Clinton, appointed by Caller-Cotelly, said that the president usually does not have the power to control the federal elections.
Caller-Cottie wrote in the 120-page opinion, “Our Constitution is handed over to the Congress and the states-with the authority of controlling the president’s nine-federal elections.” “Congress is currently debating the law that will influence many changes to the president’s order in line with the allocation of power. And no legitimate representatives of the authorities in the executive branch do not allow the President to process the Short Circuit Congress through the executive order.”
In response to this decision, Herrison Fields, a White House spokesman, said, “President Trump will continue to fight for electoral integrity, although Democrats express their dislikes to protect CommonSens like citizenship. ”
Mr. Trump’s directive has followed the baseless claims raised by him and his allies that the 2021 elections were triggered against him, alleging that the President continued his second term in the White House. The order has claimed that the United States has failed to implement the basic and necessary selection of modern, developed countries now, as well as developing. “
The executive order states, “Frequently in the freeness by fraud, error or doubt, or by doubt, is basic to maintain our constitutional republic.”
Although the Congress has the power to decide how federal elections are conducted and the National Voter Registration Act and Assistance Acts like America voting laws, the Constitution authorities authorize the state legislature to determine the “time, space and procedure” of the election program.
In addition to the need for current-Blockd citizenship, the President’s Executive Order has tried to access the White House Government Skill Department and any noncitizen registered to vote in the state; The President and the Congress directed the Attorney General to enforce two laws against states in the missing or mail-in ballot received after the final vote election; And the Election Assistant Commission instructed the Federal Fund to condition the Election Day as a ballot deadline.
These provisions were at the center of several voting rights groups and weapons of the Democratic Party, including the Democratic National Committee and party Congressional leaders. They argued that the President did not have the power to issue these changes and could not make them unilaterally.
Caller-Cothelli agrees that the plaintiffs may succeed in their challenges in two categories of their challenges, the citizenship documentary on the federal voter registration form is needed, and the people listed in the public assistance program to evaluate their citizenship before receiving the federal voter registration form.
However, as the litigation proceeded, he refused to prevent the Trump administration from implementing other parts of the President’s order.
The judiciary will probably apply for this decision.
Regarding the requirements of the Proof of Citizenship, the Caller-Cotelie does not write the Constitution or the Federal Voter Registration Act to direct the Election Assistance Commission to change what is in the federal registration form.
“Congress, EAC, or other federal agencies should be considered or accepted, he believes that the President is free to express his opinion about which principles he considers. But in this case the President has worked much more than describing his opinion: he has issued a ‘order’ that is a” order “to change the” Congress “.
In the second provision of Colar-Cotelly, he said that people applied for public assistance program are entitled to the federal voter registration form, the recipients who do not comply with the requirements imposed by programs.
He said that the provisions of the National Voter Registration Act have made it clear that the only role of the voter registration agencies is to provide the applicant to apply the Federal form to apply the citizenship requirements for voting, who must have made citizenship in the Purjuri’s penalty. There is a lack of any legal authority to violate the NVRA. ”
Voting Rights Group Lulak’s national president Roman Palomeres encouraged Coaller-Cotelie’s decision as a victory for voter and democracy.
He said in a statement, “US voters should not try to silence the voice and votes because our democracy depends on all the voters that they can freely vote and their vote will be calculated properly,” he said in a statement.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Co-Council Partners, who are representing the League of Women voters, said in a joint statement that the decision of the judge provided protection to eligible voters, of which many of which have no easy access to passports or other citizens’ documents.
They said, “Trying to accept the President’s Federal elections is a ruthless overreach to seize his power.” The President lacks the authority to rewrite the country’s election rules by weapons to harm an independent, bilateral commission to harm qualified voters. Should be reduced to the end of the order. “
