NEW CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATIVE "FIELD" HEARING SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA DECEMBER 9, 2023
President Trump signed an executive order cracking down on mail-in ballots, according to The Daily Caller.
Trump is expected to sign the order on Tuesday afternoon.
“States who disobey the order may lose federal funds under the presidential action,” The Daily Caller said.
The Daily Caller reported:
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday cracking down on mail-in voting across the country, the Daily Caller learned first.The executive order will require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state with the Social Security Administration’s help, according to a fact sheet shared with the Caller.The presidential action will also require that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) only send absentee ballots to those on each state’s approved mail-in ballot list. Ballots will now have specific secure envelopes, with unique barcodes for tracking, the order mandates.
States will be provided with their revised list of confirmed voters no less than 60 days before each federal election under the order.
The executive order also tells the U.S. Attorney General to prioritize investigating and prosecuting anyone accused of sending ballots to ineligible voters, the Caller learned. States that disobey the order may lose federal funds under the presidential action.
The SAVE America Act is currently stalled in the Senate.
President Trump last week called on Republican Senators to end the filibuster amid ongoing gridlock and partial government shutdown.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune and others have floated passing the SAVE America Act through reconciliation which only requires 51 votes.
This requires approval from the Senate Parliamentarian and she would immediately slash the SAVE America Act from the reconciliation package because it is not a budgetary item.
The only option is to nuke the filibuster and pass bills with 51 votes in the Senate.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick joined President Trump in the Oval Office for the signing.
