President Donald Trump has issued an executive order aimed at making American elections more fair and reducing corruption. This order, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” may significantly impact future elections if it survives legal challenges.
• The order focuses on ensuring that only American citizens can vote and that late votes are not counted due to their vulnerability to fraud.
• For federal voter registration, individuals must provide "documentary proof of citizenship," which most people already have on federal records.
• States are required to clean their voter rolls, with the risk of losing federal election funding if they do not comply. This encourages better data sharing with the federal government.
• The order reaffirms the ban on foreign contributions to elections, a rule that is often overlooked in enforcement.
• It mandates the use of paper ballots or verifiable paper records, prohibiting voting systems that rely on barcodes or QR codes, which can be manipulated.
• The order overturns several actions taken by President Biden that the editorial board views as beneficial for Democratic voter turnout.
The editorial board argues that Trump’s reforms are essential for maintaining fair elections in America. They believe that such measures will enhance the integrity of the electoral process and reduce claims of election fraud between political parties. The board encourages Americans to support these reforms and to be cautious of those advocating for fewer controls over the voting process, as the right to vote is paramount.
