Axios · Judge blocks Trump order to require proof of citizenship for votingBy Sareen Habeshian

A federal judge in DC has paused a key section of #Trump's #ExecutiveOrder that makes sweeping changes to #voting & #elections.

Critics of Trump's #EO say it could disenfranchise millions of would-be #voters, & exceeds his authority.

The EO instructs the independent Election Assistance Commission (#EAC) to change the mail #VoterRegistration form to require that applicants show a document proving US #citizenship before they can be registered to #vote.

#VotingRights experts have described the issues raised by Judge Griffin as moot because even if the voters’ registration forms were missing driver’s license numbers, state law still requires them to show ID when they vote.

Questions about those *omissions* had spread in conservative circles for more than a year, & were teed up for use by #Republican political strategists well before Judge Griffin’s loss in November.
