The order’s election requirements include documentary proof of citizenship and taking action to prosecute election crimes. The post Election experts weigh in on what Trump’s new executive order means for Massachusetts voters appeared first on Boston.com.
A new executive order signed by President Trump seeks to overhaul US elections by requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, prosecuting election crimes, and demanding states reject ballots received after Election Day. Experts express concerns about the order's constitutionality, potential impact on Massachusetts voters (particularly regarding proof of citizenship and the Election Day deadline for ballots), and potential federal funding cuts for non-compliant states. The order may disproportionately affect rural voters, women, people of color, and students. Its future depends on legal challenges.
