The president's executive order on elections raises serious concerns about potential voter disenfranchisement. Requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration could create obstacles for millions of eligible voters who do not have ready access to documents like passports or birth certificates. Additionally, counting only mail ballots received by Election Day would disenfranchise voters in states that currently allow a grace period for ballots postmarked by Election Day to arrive. These measures risk undermining the integrity of elections by preventing legitimate voters from having their voices heard. Protecting the fundamental right to vote and ensuring access for all eligible citizens should be the top priority. I urge you to carefully scrutinize this order and take steps to safeguard voting rights and prevent disenfranchisement.
