It&#8217;s not clear whether or how the order will affect the midterm primary elections, which are already underway in many states.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary,&#8221; the president said in the Oval Office ahead of the signing. He said requiring voters to show identification and proof of citizenship will be issues for another time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The order requires the newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to create a list of U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state, using data from the Social Security Administration, a White House official told CBS News. It also says the U.S. Postal Service may only send absentee ballots to people on each state&#8217;s federally prepared approved mail-in ballot list. There will be one envelope per ballot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>States that don&#8217;t go along with the executive order are at risk of losing federal funding, a White House official said.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear what would happen if an eligible U.S. citizen is accidentally or improperly left off the list.
