Trump Overhauls U.S. Elections In New Executive Order, Including Proof Of Citizenship

3 weeks ago President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive action to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day. The order says the U.S. has failed “to enforce basic and necessary election protections” and calls on states to work with federal agencies to share voter lists and prosecute election crimes. It threatens to pull federal funding from states where election officials don’t comply. Trump often claims elections are being rigged and has waged battles against certain voting methods since he lost the 2020 election and falsely blamed it on widespread fraud.
