President Trump signed an executive order aimed at overhauling US elections. It mandates documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration and seeks to prosecute election crimes. Critics express concern over its impact, particularly its requirement for states to reject late ballots, which targets mail-in voting. Experts argue it risks unconstitutional overreach by the federal government, with implications for citizen rights and state autonomy. There is skepticism about how much of the order can be enacted due to potential political pushbacks and legal challenges.
the executive order is "pretty clearly unconstitutional." Ruth Greenwood, director of the Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School.
"It's quite nonsensical, the whole thing," said Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts William F. Galvin.
"It's an attempt by the federal government to dictate to the states how they run elections," said Charles Stewart III.
"It's dangerous, and it diminishes the rights of citizens," emphasized Galvin about the executive order's implications.
