Crime Syndicate: DICTATOR TRUMPs New ILLEGAL Move Restricts Voting Rights
ILLEGAL At Many Levels: DICTATOR TRUMPs New Move Restricts Voting Rights Without Proper Approval
Donald Trump has signed a new executive order that sidesteps congressional approval process, in order to attempt to restrict voting rights, according to a report.
MSNRAW 26 MAR 2025
The order borrows heavily from the Republican backed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, which appears likely to pass the House but faces an uncertain future in the Senate
Legal expects say the president doesnt have the authority to make those changes which conflict with federal voting laws. Its illegal at many different levels, said Sean Morales Doyle, the voting rights director at the Brennan Center for Justice.
The order directs the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission to change the federal voter registration form to require voters to show proof of citizenship, such as a passport, to a local or state official, but Morales Doyle said he cannot tell commissioners to do.
The order also requires states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls and share data to prosecute election crimes, and it provides access by the Department of Government Efficiency team, or DOGE, to state voter rolls.
It also directs federal agencies to share data, such as immigration and Social Security records, to states to allow officials to check the eligibility of names on their voter rolls, but voting rights advocates warn that outdated databases can contain errors and say past efforts by states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls have swept up eligible U.S. citizens.
