  • President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday outlining sweeping changes to the way federal elections are carried out nationwide, a responsibility the Constitution explicitly assigns to the states and Congress.

The article from MSN discusses an executive order signed by former President Donald Trump aimed at overhauling federal elections and voter registration. This order, which was signed in 2020, sought to establish a commission to investigate alleged voter fraud and enhance the accuracy of voter rolls. It directed federal agencies to provide data to this commission, which was criticized by Democrats and voting rights groups as an attempt to suppress votes, particularly among minority communities. The order also proposed changes to how voter registration is conducted, including the potential use of federal databases to verify voter eligibility. Critics argued that this could lead to the disenfranchisement of eligible voters due to errors in data matching. The initiative was part of Trump's broader narrative questioning the integrity of U.S. elections, although no significant evidence of widespread voter fraud was found by this or other investigations.
