Trump Pushes GOP for Strict Voting Bill, Targets Mail-In Ballots
1 day ago
President Donald Trump is urging Republican lawmakers to pass a strict voting bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship and significantly limit mail-in voting. Speaking at a GOP retreat in Florida, Trump said he will not sign any other legislation until the measure reaches his desk.
Trump argues that tougher voting laws are necessary to prevent fraud, though critics note that mail ballots are widely used in many states and cases of noncitizen voting are extremely rare.
The proposed legislation is expected to spark debate within the Republican Party, as lawmakers weigh its impact on voter access ahead of the midterm elections.
