Trump's executive order on elections aims to impose restrictive voting requirements like proof of citizenship for voter registration and tight deadlines for returning mail ballots. These changes would disenfranchise many eligible voters and undermine free and fair elections. The order exceeds the president's constitutional authority by intruding on states' power to administer elections. Legal experts have warned it is unlawful and will face court challenges from states and voting rights groups. The president should not unilaterally reshape election processes in a way that creates barriers to voting and jeopardizes electoral integrity. I urge you to protect voting rights and oppose this executive overreach that threatens American democracy.
