Some Texas Counties Replace Touchscreen Voting Machines After Trump Order
President Trump aims to enforce voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide for federal elections, reflecting strong public support despite legal challenges and constitutional debates.
- On August 30, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will issue an executive order mandating voter identification nationwide and altering mail-in voting rules.
- After earlier legal setbacks, President Donald Trump says the goal is to tighten elections so only American citizens vote and to prevent double voting, following previous executive orders struck down by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
- A review of state rules finds 36 states require voter ID, with 23 needing photo ID and 12 accepting non-photo documents; Gallup poll shows 84% of American adults favor voter ID and 83% support proof of citizenship when registering.
- Legal analysts say the new executive order mandating voter ID will face swift challenges in federal courts, while county election officials already adjust procedures, potentially affecting tens of millions of Americans.
- Constitutional experts note U.S. Congress holds election rule authority and federal judiciary finds the president lacks power to bypass Congress; observers say the order targets Republican lawmakers in Congress ahead of next year's midterms.
