Trump (R) Signed an Executive Order 3/31/2026 Seeking to Crack Down on Mail-In Voting, an Effort to Exert Control Over the Nation’s Elections Ahead of a Midterm Battle where Republicans could Lose Control-of-Congress. “The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It’s horrible, what’s gone on. It’s very clearly covered … I think this will help a lot with elections,” Trump said at the Signing Ceremony in the Oval Office Today.
The Executive Order is a Major Escalation of Trump’s Desire to Change the way Americans Vote, and is sure to Draw a Court Challenges. Marc Elias, a Prominent Democratic Elections Lawyer, said He Plans to Sue Trump Over the Order. “If Trump signs an unconstitutional Executive Order to take over voting, we will Sue. I don’t bluff and I usually win,” Elias wrote on Social Media.
At the Signing Ceremony, Trump Dismissed any Potential Challenge, saying “I don’t know how it can be challenged." Since this is a Congress and State Process, it will be Challenged.
Trump’s Order comes as Midterm Elections Approach 2026, with Republicans Framing the Effort to Curb Mail-in-Voting as Necessary to Bolster Election Integrity and Democrats Warning it could Disenfranchise Eligible Voters.
The Order is Reminiscent of the GOP-backed SAVE America Act, which has Cleared the House, and remains under Consideration in the Senate. Trump has Insisted Congress Pass the Measure, which has Steep Approval Odds at the Moment. That Bill would Require Documentary Proof of Citizenship to Register, which is already done with the Real-ID Driver License or State ID to Vote, and Push States to more Aggressively Remove None-Citizens from Voter Rolls.
Trump’s Order Directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in Conjunction with the Social Security Administration (SSA), to create an Approved List of Absentee Voters. The U.S. Postal Service would be Directed to Only send Mail-in-Ballots to Voters on that List.
The Order also Directs Attorney General Pam Bondi (R) to Investigate Anyone Wrongfully Distributing Mail-in-Ballots, and Threatens to Withhold Federal Funds to States who Don’t Comply with the Order.
In NYC, they also do a Facial Image and Signature Match to Vote. They also Track Mail-in-Ballots. the Voter has the Option to Cancel that Vote and Vote again, and can't vote Twice.
