Executive Order on Mail-In Voting Procedures
Where Things Stand
President Trump signed an executive order that limits mail-in voting to citizens on a pre-approved list from the Department of Homeland Security. This order requires federal agencies to use their data to verify if a person is allowed to vote. Democratic leaders have filed lawsuits to stop the order after Congress refused to pass similar laws.
Key Statements
