President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking broad changes to how elections are run in the U.S. is vast in scope and holds the potential to reorder the voting landscape across the country, even as it faces almost certain litigation.

Summary

Trump signed an executive order mandating proof of citizenship to register to vote, requiring mail ballots to be received by Election Day, banning QR codes on ballots, and prohibiting foreign donations in certain elections.

The order faces legal challenges as it faces legal challenges due to the Constitution’s emphasis on state authority in election procedures.

Voting rights groups warn it exceeds presidential authority and could disenfranchise millions of voters lacking citizenship documents.

Legal experts predict court battles over the order’s scope and constitutionality, with prominent voting rights advocates pledging to sue immediately.

        Several states are going to sue, since they have ultimate authority on how elections are run. I will eat my fucking hat if this survives even a month
