Trump signs executive order limiting mail-in voting for 2026 elections

AI Summary

President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at limiting mail-in voting. The order mandates the Department of Homeland Security to create a list of verified U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state. It also instructs the Attorney General to investigate violations related to ballot distribution and to withhold federal funds from noncompliant states. Legal challenges to the order are expected, which may impede its enforcement prior to the forthcoming midterm elections in November. This development could affect voter turnout and election processes.
