Hillary Donors Behind Suit Challenging Proof of Citizenship in Three States

Latest in series of lawsuits from lawyers who have given thousands to Clinton

Lawyers who have donated thousands to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton are involved in a new lawsuit challenging a requirement in three states to make individuals provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote using a national mail voter registration form.

The lawsuit was brought forth by a coalition of organizations including the League of Women Voters in Georgia, Alabama, and Kansas, against Brian D. Newby, the acting executive director and chief operating officer of the United States Election Commission, and the United States Election Assistance Commission.

The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia argues that Newby—who on Jan. 29, 2016 granted requests to Georgia, Kansas, and Alabama to modify the Federal Form’s instructions to require voter registration applicants in those states to submit proof of U.S. citizenship—violated the Administrative Procedure Act.

Some of the lawyers involved with the suit have contributed heavily to Clinton.

This is not the first time attorneys backing Clinton have filed suits challenging state voter ID laws.

ID is required to purchase cigarettes, alcohol. If the very poor or poorly educated can get an ID for these things then they can get one for voting.

This is nothing less than treason.
