Trump Signs Executive Order to Tighten U.S. Voting Regulations

The order enforces stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements, limits mail-in voting, and threatens to withhold federal funding from non-compliant states.

Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing federal agencies to implement stricter voting regulations, focusing on voter registration, mail-in voting, and election monitoring.
The order mandates proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and prohibits counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day.
Trump plans to use federal funding as leverage to pressure states into adopting the new regulations, despite state-level control over election laws.
Civil rights groups argue the measures will disproportionately impact minorities and vulnerable populations, and legal challenges are expected.
Trump's claims of election fraud, which experts consistently refute, underpin this order, with Germany's paper ballot system cited as a model for election reliability.
