Donald Trump has released an executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

This is one of those roughly 80/20 issues where an overwhelming majority of the country believes that only American citizens should be voting in American elections, as the law requires. So of course Democrats found a friendly federal judge to block the executive order.

The judge held that Democrats had shown that requiring proof of citizenship would hurt their voter registration efforts, and [quote] “make it more difficult for them to register voters who are likely to support Democratic candidates” [unquote]. 

In other words, voter integrity measures are likely to impose particular harm on the Democratic Party.

The ruling should make Democrats very uncomfortable. As they seek a way forward in the Trump era, perhaps they should be finding a way to win that is consistent with fair and legal elections.
