Abstract

The article focuses on President Donald Trump's planned executive order aimed at restricting mail-in voting in the United States. The order would require the Homeland Security secretary to compile lists of eligible voters for each state, mandate that absentee ballots be sent only to those on the approved lists, and include security features such as barcodes on ballot envelopes. States would need to receive these lists 60 days before federal elections and face potential loss of federal funds for noncompliance. While states have constitutional authority over election procedures, legal experts note that the president lacks unilateral power to change mail-in voting rules without congressional approval. The order follows previous unsuccessful attempts by Trump to alter election rules and comes amid ongoing legal debates about mail-in ballot counting. [Extracted from the article]
