Dems file lawsuit against Trump to stop executive order banning non-citizens from voting

We don't hate these people enough.

Boasberg will get the case or another federal judge making money from illegals will.

There is only one reference to "non-citizen" and it's paragraph 209.

Such a requirement imposes a severe burden on the right to vote, effectively barring tens of millions of Americans from registering using the Federal Form even though courts have found that non-citizen voting is exceedingly rare

---

I found no reference to "immigrant" or "illegal"

The fact that its against federal law that illegals cant vote in federal elections is clear and indisputable. Why even pass an XO when theres already a law in place?

Clearly the EO is about more than just "banning non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections", and the corresponding lawsuit is about that other stuff.

Everyone knows this is how lawyers hide what they don’t want you to see… we all know what it’s really about and playing word games is what they are good at to get the public on board with their sinister agenda.

Lawyer’s favorite clients/audience are ignorant ones so they can fleece them without knowing any better. You should be proud of yourself.

President Trump’s executive order, "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections," signed on March 25, 2025, goes beyond just banning noncitizens from voting in federal elections (which is already illegal under existing law). It includes several additional measures aimed at tightening election security and voter eligibility verification. Here’s a breakdown of the key items it contains, based on its stated provisions:
Mandatory Proof of Citizenship for Voter Registration:
The order requires states to use the federal voter registration form (administered by the Election Assistance Commission) and mandates that it be amended to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers—before an individual can register to vote in federal elections. This aims to prevent noncitizens from registering, even unintentionally.

Federal Agency Support for Verification:
It directs federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA), to provide states with access to databases (e.g., SAVE—Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) to verify citizenship status of registered voters. This is intended to help states identify and remove noncitizens from voter rolls.

Penalties for Non-Compliant States:
The order threatens to withhold federal funds from states that fail to comply with its directives, such as not implementing the citizenship verification requirements or accepting ballots cast after Election Day in federal races. This leverages federal financial authority to enforce compliance.

Rejection of Late Ballots:
It mandates that states reject any ballots received after Election Day for federal contests, aiming to standardize deadlines and prevent what the order calls "post-election manipulation." This applies only to federal elections, leaving state election deadlines unaffected unless states align them voluntarily.

Enhanced Voter Roll Maintenance:
States are instructed to conduct regular audits of voter rolls using federal data to remove ineligible voters, including noncitizens, deceased individuals, and those who have moved out of state. The order frames this as a safeguard against fraud, though it doesn’t specify how often these audits must occur.

Reporting Requirements:
It requires states to submit annual reports to the Department of Justice detailing their efforts to prevent noncitizen voting and maintain accurate voter rolls. The DOJ is tasked with publishing these findings, increasing transparency—or pressure—on state election officials.

Prosecution of Election Fraud:
The order directs the Attorney General to prioritize investigation and prosecution of election-related crimes, including noncitizen voting, and to coordinate with DHS to ensure swift deportation of any noncitizens found to have voted illegally.

Public Education Campaign:
It calls for a federal initiative to inform the public that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections, aiming to deter noncitizen voting through awareness rather than just enforcement.

These provisions build on existing laws like the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which already criminalizes noncitizen voting, but shift the focus to prevention through stricter registration rules and state accountability. Critics argue some measures—like altering the federal form or withholding funds—may exceed executive authority, potentially violating the independence of the Election Assistance Commission or states’ constitutional election powers. Supporters say it’s a necessary response to perceived vulnerabilities, though evidence of widespread noncitizen voting remains scant. Legal challenges are expected, particularly over the funding threats and EAC’s role.

Which language in the lawsuit?

Again, I only found one reference and the implication is the opposite (as they reference the data that non-citizens voting is rare implies this is illegal and not what they're supporting).
