Stop Trump's Authoritarian Voter Suppression Scheme

Donald Trump just signed an executive order requiring voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote—a clear attempt to suppress millions of eligible voters, especially young people, immigrants, and communities of color.

This dangerous move is not just undemocratic—it’s unconstitutional. Election law is determined by Congress and the states, not by presidential fiat.

"Trump's executive action is an attempt to take away our right to vote or make it so hard that we don't participate," said Common Cause President and CEO Virginia Kase Solomón. "The people reject these tactics."

The courts should block this illegal power grab—but whether or not they do, Congress must act immediately.

Congress should pass a resolution rejecting Trump’s executive order and making clear that he does not have the authority to dictate federal or state election law. That power rests with Congress and the states—not with an authoritarian ex-president trying to rig the system in his favor.

Add your name now to demand Congress stop Trump’s illegal voter suppression scheme and defend our democracy before it’s too late.
