President Donald Trump says he plans to sign an executive order aimed at requiring voter ID in elections across the country.<\/p>\n

Trump made the statement on social media late Saturday night, saying he is also seeking other reforms to how U.S. elections take place.  <\/p>\n

‘Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

Trump previously attempted to impose voter ID via an executive order earlier this year in a wider election integrity action.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In April, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia struck down the portions of that order that related to voter identification requirements.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kollar-Kotelly maintained that Trump did not have the authority to issue such an order, as the Constitution<\/u> delegates control of election regulations to Congress and states.<\/p>\n

‘Consistent with that allocation of power, Congress is currently debating legislation that would affect many of the changes the President purports to order,’ Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, wrote in her order. ‘No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress\u2019s deliberative process by executive order.’<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship remains widely popular among Americans, according to a poll from Gallup taken just before the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The poll found that 84% of U.S. adults were in favor of requiring voters to show identification and 83% supported requiring proof of citizenship when registering for the first time. <\/p>\n

When broken down by party, 67% of Democrats, 84% of Independents and 98% of Republicans were in favor of mandating voter ID<\/u>. The party breakdown over proof of citizenship was similar, with 66% of Democrats, 84% of Independents and 96% of Republicans supporting the idea.<\/p>\n
