"Trump's executive order seeks to bar the U.S. Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to those not on each state's approved list, although the president likely lacks the power to mandate what the Postal Service does."
"The order calls for ballots to have secure envelopes with unique barcodes for tracking, which Trump believes will enhance the voting process."
"Legal challenges are expected as Trump's previous election executive order sought sweeping changes, including a documentary proof-of-citizenship requirement and strict deadlines for mailed ballots."
"Trump expressed a desire to 'take over' elections from Democratic-run areas, citing unfounded fraud allegations that have been debunked by numerous audits and investigations."
President Trump signed an executive order to establish a nationwide list of verified eligible voters, involving the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. The order aims to prevent the U.S. Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to individuals not on state-approved lists. Trump also proposed secure envelopes with unique barcodes for tracking ballots. This order is anticipated to face legal challenges, similar to previous efforts to change election processes, which have been blocked by voting rights groups and state attorneys general.
