President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that mandates proof of citizenship for Americans wishing to vote, claiming it is a necessary step to end election fraud. The order, criticized by progressive groups, requires prospective voters to show a U.S. passport or valid government ID when registering for federal elections. Additionally, it mandates states to only count ballots received by election day, disregarding mail-in votes that arrive later. Critics argue this move disproportionately affects poor and older voters, who may struggle to access the necessary identification, as the Trump administration continues to propagate unfounded claims of widespread election fraud.
Trump's order addresses election fraud but critics argue it suppresses voter access, particularly for poor and older individuals without easy access to valid IDs.
By requiring proof of citizenship to vote, Trump hopes to 'straighten out' what he claims are rampant election fraud issues, despite little evidence supporting his claims.
