Trump administration swiftly moves ahead on plans to restrict voting by mail in the states
The plan would give states access to citizenship data and add Postal Service limits, as voting rights groups say it could disrupt tens of millions of ballots.
- The Trump administration is advancing a March 31 executive order to restrict voting by mail ahead of the November midterm elections, including providing states access to federal citizenship data by June 30 to monitor mail ballots for fraud.
- The order requires the Postmaster General to enact new restrictions on mail ballots and demands states provide absentee voter lists to the U.S. Postal Service, which plans to monitor ballot flows for anomalies indicating fraud.
- Several states have used the SAVE system to check voter rolls against citizenship data, and the administration plans to create a registry for states to securely access citizenship-related data despite criticism of possible misidentifications.
- Democrats and voting rights advocates have filed lawsuits against the order and Postal Service regulations, opposing them as unconstitutional election interference.
