I believe in facts, institutions, and the radical idea that adults should act like adults. Cynical but not numb, angry but still paying attention, I still believe in democracy, but I’m deeply embarrassed by the people currently running it.

Federal judge bars Trump from proof of citizenship requirement to vote

A federal judge has permanently barred President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections. Trump's order included provisions that would have required people to show documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. It also would have prevented mail ballots from counting if they're received after Election Day. The ruling Wednesday effectively makes permanent a preliminary order that the Boston-based judge issued a year ago. The judge agreed with arguments from Democratic attorneys general that the Constitution gives states and Congress, not the president, the power to regulate elections. The White House said it was confident it would ultimately prevail in the case.
