Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to Ease Voter Registration


The Supreme Court on Monday, turned away a Challenge from Republican State Lawmakers in Pennsylvania, to a Biden Administration Executive Order that is intended to boost Voter Registration.

Biden’s Order directed Agency Heads to Explore ways to Support Voter Registration, such as Sharing Information on Government websites, making Forms available at Federal Offices, and Partnering with States and Nonpartisan Organizations to do On-Site Registrations.

The Multipart Order is aimed at using the far-flung reach of Federal Agencies to help People Register to Vote and to encourage Americans to go to the Polls on Election Day. In a Speech for the Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast, Biden argued that such Actions were still necessary despite the Progress of the last Half-Century.

The Justices did Not Comment in Rejecting an Appeal from the Republicans, who claimed the Order is an Unconstitutional attempt to Interfere in the November Election. Lower Courts had also Dismissed the Lawsuit.

Nine Republican Secretaries of State and 11 Members of Congress, had asked the Court to step in. In May, the Justices Declined to Take-Up and Decide the Case on an Expedited Basis.

The Justices separately Rejected Two Appeals stemming from Baseless Claims made by Republicans that Voting Machines and Software of Dominion Voting Systems were responsible for Trump's Defeat in the 2020 Presidential Election.

In One Case, the Court turned away an Appeal from Fulton County, Pennsylvania, that questioned a Pennsylvania High Court Ruling involving Voting Machines.

The other Rejected Appeal involved Claims from People around the Country, that Denver-based Dominion tried to Silence them.
