Summary
The Trump administration is moving forward with a March 31 executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections. The Department of Homeland Security will allow states to access federal citizenship data by June 30 and plans to monitor mail ballot flows for voter fraud. Democrats and voting rights advocates oppose the directive as unconstitutional election meddling and have filed lawsuits to block it. The president has long attacked mail ballots without evidence of widespread fraud.
