@sacramentourbanmedia916: FOLLOW FOR MORE: A federal judge has permanently blocked key portions of President Donald Trump’s first election executive order, including a proposal that would have required voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. U.S. District Judge Denise Casper ruled that the Constitution gives states and Congress—not the president—the authority to regulate federal elections. The decision makes permanent an earlier injunction that had temporarily prevented the administration from enforcing much of the order. The executive order also sought to stop states from counting mailed ballots received after Election Day, even if they were postmarked on time, and would have allowed the federal government to withhold certain funding from states that did not comply. New York Attorney General Letitia James praised the ruling, calling the order an unconstitutional attempt to take control of elections. The White House and Department of Justice had not publicly commented at the time of reporting. The legal battle is one of several challenges facing Trump’s election-related executive actions. Meanwhile, legislation that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote has passed the House but remains stalled in the Senate. The U.S. Supreme Court is also expected to issue a separate ruling soon on whether mailed ballots must be received by Election Day, a decision that could affect election procedures in multiple states.#fyp #viral
