WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- The Justice Department supports blocking voter registration forms that require proof of citizenship in three states, according to court filings.

The department urged U.S. District Judge Richard Leon on Monday to issue a preliminary injunction to prevent Kansas, Alabama and Georgia from using the forms. The injunction was requested by the League of Women Voters, which is suing the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission over the forms.

The League brought the suit, alleging that the requirement to prove citizenship acts as a barrier to voter registration, particularly for poor, minority and elderly voters who may not have the required documentation.

The Justice Department's decision to support the ban is unusual because the Department would otherwise be in the position of defending the EAC in the suit....

Letting illegals vote for Democrats is an “act of love.”

Individual actors within the Justice Department need to be tried for treason.

I used to think banana republics were a joke.

No one’s laughing at the DOJ’s latest position on voter integrity laws.

If I don’t have to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, why do I have to provide it to get a U.S. passport? Just asking.

“Individual actors within the Justice Department need to be tried for treason.”

They are obviously guilty. Maybe dispense with the trial and just get some rope.

Democrats are evil, the spawn of Satan, the children of Stalin, the sons of Mao, the admirers of Ceaușescu and comfort women of Castro. They are the bottom feeding pond scum of the world, apologies to real scum.

The Justice Department, under the Obama administration, provides “justice” for everyone except American citizens.

It is stunning to watch the incompetent and illiterate pressing their anti-American agenda. The judicial system is becoming a bad joke.

So, our new Federal Cop can’t bring herself to lock up the serial email stealer/seller; but she can find time to try to rig an election.

HOW ABOUT WE JUST CHARGE HER WITH TREASON NOW AND GET IT OVER WITH. Then we can find someone who will hold Hillary accountable .. and they can share a cell.

This grandiose criminal activity has to come to an end. The sooner the better.
