Activist Judge Rules That Trump Can’t Require Proof of Citizenship to Vote
https://pjmedia.com/ ^ | April 24, 2025 | Matt Margolis

Here we go again—another judge sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, derailing President Donald Trump’s efforts to make our elections secure. A federal judge in Washington, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly — a Bill Clinton appointee — just slammed the brakes on Trump’s executive order that would’ve required proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.

Trump signed the order in March, pointing out that the U.S. “fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections” compared to countries like India or Brazil, which tie voter ID to biometric databases.

He’s not wrong.

There's no denying that our elections are a mess, with some states practically begging for fraud by relying on self-attestation for citizenship. Trump’s plan was simple: make voters show a passport or other ID to register. It’s not rocket science; it’s what you’d expect from a country serious about democracy. Yet Kollar-Kotelly sided with the radical who claimed Trump’s executive order would disenfranchise voters.

Disenfranchise whom, exactly? Illegal voters?

The judge granted a preliminary injunction, halting the citizenship requirement while lawsuits drag on. She also blocked a provision that would’ve checked the citizenship of public assistance enrollees before handing them voter registration forms.

Have we the people reached RICO conspiracy level by unelected satanic judges?

Well, exactly. The Revolution refuses to be thwarted by the likes of Trump.

As I posted on another thread about this judge - she is a nasty piece of work. Look at her hustory on the FISA court and how she treats J6 defendants. Read how she taunted the husband of a 75 year old woman about her Christian faith.

So, a federal judge in Washington, DC likes election cheating, so that more Democrat leftists can be elected. Therefore, the country’s election system must be fraud friendly?

We are afflicted with some very corrupt or communist judges. Or useful idiots that score at the very bottom of the idiot iq range. Like in single digits. Or?

So a Washington Judge can dictate Federal election law that applies to the entire country. Yeah that’s reasonable /s

It would require 60 votes in the Senate, apparently.

Republicans have only a 53-47 majority in the Senate, so it’s basically DOA.

As I recently posted, the Dems and their judges think we are weaklings and saps to be laughed at and stepped on.

Never forget that the Republican Party stood by and did nothing or even voted for these judges.

Who elected her to run the country? (Parroting leftist talk about legally chosen representatives of President Trump.) Someone needs to deport those activist judges to prison.
