Trump Moves to Exert Federal Control Over Mail-In Voting Amid False Claims
President Trump signs executive order to restrict mail-in voting despite lack of evidence of widespread fraud. Experts call the order legally invalid as states vow legal challenges.
In a controversial move, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order seeking to assert federal control over mail-in voting amid his unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud. The order, which legal experts have described as legally invalid, comes as the president continues to make false assertions about the integrity of the upcoming election.
The order directs federal agencies to submit reports on the use of taxpayer funds for mail-in voting, a practice Trump has repeatedly railed against despite a lack of evidence supporting his claims of widespread fraud. It also calls for new regulations that could make it more difficult for states to implement mail-in voting programs.
