Vermont Prepared to Fight President's New Mail-in Voting Order
Critics said the order is unconstitutional and could face court challenges as states defend mail voting used by millions of Americans.
- On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting mail-in voting, directing federal agencies to compile voter eligibility lists and investigate state officials issuing ballots to ineligible voters.
- Trump asserted the order aims at "stopping the massive cheating that's gone on," following recent legislative infighting over the SAVE Act, which would require voter identification before casting ballots.
- The directive requires the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to share verified citizenship data with state officials and the Postal Service at least 60 days before any federal election.
- Democratic officials, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, denounced the order as "unconstitutional," with Newsom vowing California will challenge the directive in court to protect voting rights.
- Election officials across the country are monitoring the implementation's impact on the November 3rd general election, while critics warn the order could create confusion over state authority in administering federal voting.
