The Democratic Party has officially filed a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump—not for corruption, not for scandal, but for daring to ensure that only American citizens vote in American elections. That’s right. The party that spent four years crying about “democracy dying in darkness” is now suing the president for trying to secure the integrity of the ballot box.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in D.C. federal court, lists the Democratic National Committee, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as plaintiffs. A charming trio, freshly united in their latest mission: to stop any effort that might prevent non-citizens from tipping the scales in federal elections.

You can’t make this up.
The Trump executive order in question directs the Election Assistance Commission to require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration by mail. That’s it. No elaborate hoops. No backroom voter purges. Just a simple, commonsense rule: Prove you’re a citizen before you vote.
And what do the Democrats call this?
An “unjustifiable” and “excessive burden.” Their words, not ours.
According to them, providing a passport, Real ID, military ID, or any state-issued ID showing citizenship is too much to ask. The same party that wants a vaccine passport to buy groceries is horrified at the idea of a photo ID for voting.

The lawsuit reads like a parody. It claims Trump is motivated by “conspiratorial beliefs” and “personal grievances” because he wants legally cast ballots by legal citizens. In other words, if you want basic security measures in the voting process, you’re a danger to democracy. If you want the honor of voting to be reserved for Americans, you're a tyrant. That’s where we’re at.
But let’s call it what it is.
This isn’t about burdens. It’s about control. The same party that’s allowed millions of illegal immigrants to pour across the southern border now wants to make sure those same individuals don’t face any hurdles come election time. It’s not about voting rights—it’s about importing votes.
Polling consistently shows overwhelming bipartisan support for voter ID laws and proof-of-citizenship requirements. This is an 80-20 issue. Yet once again, Democrats are diving headfirst into the 20%, flailing in the shallow end of reason and shouting “voter suppression!” while the American people shake their heads.
