Donald Trump redeclares war on free and fair elections in America with another blatantly unconstitutional order [View all]

The Trump regime moved to open a new front in its assault on American democracy Tuesday with the signing of a blatantly unconstitutional executive order that attempts to set up new barriers to participation in elections. The order attempts to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and force all ballots to be received by Election Day, contrary to state law in Washington and Oregon.

Marc Elias of Democracy Docket called it a “massive voter suppression” scheme.

“This will not stand. We will sue,” said Elias.

“This is not a statute,” Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes pointed out to Democracy Docket. “This is an edict by fiat from the executive branch, and so every piece of it can be challenged through the regular judicial process.”
