Mr. Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at U.S. elections, though both have been blocked by the courts.<\/p>\n<p>The first executive order, signed last year, would <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-elections-executive-order-citizenship\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">require documentary proof of citizenship<\/a><\/span> in order to register to vote. The second, announced in March, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-vote-by-mail-executive-order\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">tightens the rules for mail-in voting<\/a><\/span> and requires the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Postal Service to compile and maintain lists of U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump is also pushing Congress to enact a package of voting regulations called the SAVE America Act, which would significantly curtail mail-in voting and impose new voter ID requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The president has long taken aim at mail-in voting and claimed it leads to widespread fraud, though he has not put forth evidence in support of those claims. He has also claimed that Democratic states allow noncitizens to vote in U.S. elections. It is a federal crime for noncitizens to vote.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n        <\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-lawsuits-state-voter-rolls-justice-department\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington \u2014 President Trump&#8217;s administration has mounted efforts in nearly all 50 states to obtain their complete voter rolls containing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":92702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Trump administration has filed 31 lawsuits seeking states&#039; voter data.
