Of Course They Are: Democrats Suing Trump for Trying to Prevent Non-Citizens From Voting — RedState
[REDSTATE] The Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets...
over an executive order designed to maintain integrity in federal elections.

Because, of course they are.

The suit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on Monday, cites several plaintiffs, including most notably the Democratic National Committee (DNC (If you're white you ain't right!)
...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate...
), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 49.32405 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
(D-NY).

It's nice that Schumer and Jeffries got over their tiff long enough to join forces to stop the President from keeping non-citizens from voting.

"In the United States of America, the President does not get to dictate the rules of our elections," the court filing reads.

The suit's introduction goes on to suggest Trump was trying to "corrupt" the election process. Corrupting the process by ensuring only citizens vote. What a bizarre argument.

"The Framers of our federal Constitution foresaw that self-interested and self-aggrandizing leaders might seek to corrupt our democratic system of government to expand and preserve their own power," they write.

''Although the Order extensively reflects the President's personal grievances, conspiratorial beliefs, and election denialism, nowhere does it (nor could it) identify any legal authority he possesses to impose such sweeping changes upon how Americans vote," they added.

The lawsuit takes particular exception to the portion of Trump's executive order demanding proof of citizenship for registering to vote by mail.

#1 It doesn’t seem to me that the Federal government has jurisdiction to set voter qualifications except to protect women, races and over 18 voter rights.

Also like to see the voting age returned to 21.

Because it seems, even States and the DC Swamp agree based on their own mandated Age restrictions for certain activities.

As one example:
Why can an 18 y/o vote and even join the military to maybe die for their country. But are not considered mature enough to drink liquors, or purchase or own a Pistol?
