Trump Orders Stricter Voting Rules, Sparks Legal Battle
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order tightening federal election controls, requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, and threatening funding cuts for non-compliant states. The move, which he claims is necessary to fix a flawed system, has sparked a backlash from legal experts and rights groups, who argue it could disenfranchise millions and overstep presidential authority as the order also directs the attorney general to take action against states counting late-arriving absentee ballots, further intensifying the debate over election integrity.
