The new executive order will require the Department of Homeland Security to create a database of eligible voters in each state, utilizing data from the Social Security Administration, according to CBS News. The U.S. Postal Service will also be required to send absentee ballots to legitimate voters as indicated by the database, with only one envelope for each ballot. States who refuse to comply with the order will be cut off from federal funding.
This new order comes as the Senate has stalled on their attempts to pass the SAVE America Act, a top priority for President Trump to secure American elections.
