"The order, titled 'Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,' says that states can send the U.S. Postal Service a list of voters 'to whom the State intends to provide a mail-in or absentee ballot' 60 days before any federal election."
"The Postal Service would only be authorized to deliver ballots from people on an approved list, which states would be allowed 'to routinely supplement and provide suggested modifications or amendments' to."
"While signing the executive order Tuesday evening, Trump told reporters at the White House that the order was about ensuring voter integrity. 'We want to have honest voting in our country, because if you don't have honest voting, you can't have, really, a nation.'"
President Donald Trump issued an executive order granting the U.S. Postal Service significant authority over mail-in voting. The order allows states to provide the Postal Service with a list of voters eligible for mail-in ballots 60 days before federal elections. The Postal Service will create unique identifiers for these ballots and will only deliver ballots from approved voters. Additionally, the order mandates collaboration between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to compile a list of adult citizens in each state, while maintaining state voter registration requirements.
