Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked President Trump's executive order on election integrity, particularly provisions requiring citizenship proof for voter registration. The ruling came amid lawsuits by multiple plaintiffs challenging the order, resulting in the blockade of two key provisions. Kollar-Kotelly emphasized that election regulation authority lies with Congress and the States, not the President. Though some provisions were dismissed as premature for federal intervention, the judge's ruling underscores the limits of executive power in dictating election laws.
Kollar-Kotelly stated, "Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States - not the President - with the authority to regulate federal elections..."
On the topic of blocked provisions, Judge Kollar-Kotelly commented, "No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress's deliberative process by executive order."
