President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that looks to force sweeping changes on how elections are conducted across the nation including establishing new voter identification requirements to prove U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections.
The order, which is expected to face legal challenges by voting rights groups, comes as Trump continues to push baseless claims of voter fraud to argue the 2020 election was stolen from him despite his victory in the 2024 election.
Non-U.S. citizens are already not allowed to vote in federal elections. But under the order, the national mail voter registration form will require that applicants provide either a U.S. passport, a REAL ID driver's license or state-issued card compliant with REAL standards, or a "valid Federal or State government-issued photo identification."
