Go to Article

President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order on election integrity, which includes putting a citizenship question on the federal voting form.

WATCH:

“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic.  The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” the executive order read.

“Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error.  Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote,” it continued.

WATCH:

Full text:

– Requires documentary, government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms.
– Conditions federal election-related funds on states complying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law.
– Directs the updating of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 and security standards for voting equipment — which includes requiring a voter-verifiable paper ballot record and not using ballots in which the counted vote is contained within a barcode or QR code.
– Directs the Attorney General to enter into information-sharing agreements with state election officials to identify cases of election fraud or other election law violations.
– Takes appropriate action against states that count ballots received after Election Day in Federal elections.
– Revokes Biden Executive Order 14019, which turned Federal agencies into Democratic voter turnout centers.

Per Just the News:

The executive order includes the requirement that only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, offers assistance to states on maintaining voter rolls, makes improvements in the Election Assistance Commission, and orders the attorney general to prosecute election crimes.
