Trump Signs Order Tightening Voter Registration and Restricting Mail-In Voting

Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday mandating stricter state-level controls on voter registration and limiting mail-in voting. This action follows years of his criticism of the electoral system. The order requires proof of U.S. citizenship, like passports or driver's licenses, for voter registration. States not complying may face suspended federal election funding. The order also targets states counting ballots received after election day if postmarked after voting closure. Experts and organizations, including the ACLU, have criticized the order as an overreach of executive power and a potential disenfranchisement of millions, with legal challenges anticipated.
