Trump Signs Mail-in Voting Order; Judge Rules President Overstepped Authority in Ballroom Construction
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order restricting mail-in voting, requiring the administration to create a list of confirmed American citizens eligible to vote in each State.
- White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf said the order is designed to "help secure elections in the future" and mandates secure envelopes with barcodes for ballot tracking. States disobeying may lose federal funds.
- Just last week, Trump insisted he "I won with mail-in ballots, but I hate mail-in ballots because basically, it's a way of cheating," yet reportedly voted by mail-in ballot himself ahead of a special election in Palm Beach, Florida.
- Many legal scholars believe the president does not have the power to dictate how States run their elections, potentially challenging the constitutional authority of the executive order.
- Trump also addressed other issues from the Oval Office on Tuesday, including plans to attend Supreme Court oral arguments on Wednesday regarding birthright citizenship and expectations the conflict in Iran will end in two to three weeks.
