VoteRiders Applauds Court's Ruling Pausing Unnecessary Documentary Proof of Citizenship Requirement

“We applaud the preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge today against President Trump’s executive order that sought to require that voters using the federal voter registration form provide documentary proof of citizenship,” said Lauren Kunis, CEO and Executive Director of VoteRiders. 

“Our research shows that nearly 1 in 10 eligible voters nationwide lack easy access to citizenship documents like a US birth certificate or passport. This new burdensome, costly, and time-consuming requirement would disenfranchise eligible American citizens while solving a problem that years worth of analyses have shown simply does not exist. Today’s decision represents a critical victory for ensuring that our democratic process remains accessible to all eligible American voters.”
