President Trump signed an executive order to reform U.S. elections, mandating proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and requiring all ballots by Election Day. This order accuses states of failing to enforce election protections, with threats to cut federal funding for non-compliance. The order targets mail voting, which Trump deems insecure, despite its acceptance among voters, including Republicans. Voting rights groups warn that proof of citizenship could disenfranchise over 21 million eligible voters, raising concerns about access and equity in the electoral process.
The executive action is likely to face swift challenges from voting rights organizations, consistent with Trump's long history of criticizing election processes.
The order threatens to pull federal funding from states that fail to comply with its demands, pushing for stricter voter registration policies.
