Trump signs executive order directing creation of national voter list and restricting mail-in voting
President Trump signed an executive order calling for the Department of Homeland Security to create a nationwide list of verified eligible voters and directing the U.S. Postal Service to bar sending absentee ballots to those not on approved state lists. The order also requires secure envelopes with unique barcodes for ballot tracking. Legal experts say the president lacks constitutional authority over state-run elections and expect the order to face immediate court challenges.
