Judge blocks citizenship proof on federal voter form

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled Oct. 31 that President Trump cannot require documentary proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration form, finding the directive unconstitutional and outside presidential authority. The decision grants partial summary judgment to the DNC and civil-rights groups and permanently bars the U.S. Election Assistance Commission from adding the requirement, while other challenges to Trump’s elections order — including a mailed-ballot receipt-by-Election-Day mandate — continue.
