Trump Announces Plan to Mandate Voter ID and Restrict Mail-In Voting

President Donald Trump has announced his intention to sign an executive order requiring voters to present identification at polling places, while also seeking to limit mail-in voting and permit only paper ballots. The move comes despite the Constitution not granting the president explicit authority over election laws. Critics argue that such measures could disproportionately affect certain demographics, raising concerns about potential voter suppression. Trump’s announcement was made on his social media platform, Truth Social, where he has frequently discussed election integrity issues. The potential executive order underscores ongoing tensions surrounding election procedures and the administration’s role in shaping them.
