A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to overhaul elections in the U.S., siding with a group of Democratic state attorneys general who challenged the effort as unconstitutional.
Trump’s March 25 executive order sought to compel officials to require documentary proof of citizenship for everyone registering to vote for federal elections, accept only mailed ballots received by Election Day and condition federal election grant funding on states adhering to the new ballot deadline.
The group of attorneys general said the directive “usurps the States’ constitutional power and seeks to amend election law by fiat.” The White House has defended the order as “standing up for free, fair and honest elections” and called proof of citizenship a “commonsense” requirement.
Judge Denise J. Casper of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts said in Friday’s order that the states had a likelihood of success as to their legal challenges.
No they absolutely did not, what the fuck are you talking about? Why did 5 people upvote this? Like wtf? I don’t understand posting verifiable lies and then upvoting them. Like what a weird thing to lie about.
I don’t know what op posted or if the upvotes are organic but don’t forget that a lot of trolls use alt accounts to self upvote.
I think people are confused which court case this is; there are too many things happening this week, and I suspect the above was referring to the national guard one
What did it say?
There is a lot of vote manipulation going on throughout the fediverse. Most instance admins refuse to address the problem.
Other forum sites have entire teams of people dedicated to countering vote manipulation but here there is nobody. It will get worse until something is done about it.
