Trump Signs Order to Tighten Voter Registration

“President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that would seek to cut federal grants to states who don’t adopt tougher standards for voter registration, the latest Republican step in the political fight over access to the voter rolls,” Bloomberg reports.

“The executive order would add a question to the national voter registration form explicitly asking registrants to affirm they are U.S. citizens.”

“The effort would also reduce grants for states to update their election-related cybersecurity and voting equipment if the administration deems they have not done enough to secure their election rolls.”
