President Trump signed an executive order to establish a nationwide list of verified eligible voters, collaborating with 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 reiterated his claims of widespread mail-in voting fraud and proposed secure envelopes with unique barcodes for tracking ballots.
