Trump Signs Historic Executive Order To Help Secure U.S. Elections

The order also undid some of Biden's executive actions that "turned Federal agencies into Democratic voter turnout centers."

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday strengthening the integrity of America’s elections, delivering on a key campaign promise.

Trump said that the executive order would “go a long way toward ending” election fraud in the country and that further actions from the administration would be forthcoming in the coming weeks.

“Perhaps some people think I shouldn’t be complaining, because we won in a landslide, but we’re going to straighten out our elections,” Trump said. “This country is so sick because of the election, the fake elections and the bad elections, and we’re going to straighten it out one way or the other.”

The order strengthens election integrity through a variety of mechanisms, including having the Election Assistance Commission require documentary, government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms, the administration said in a fact-sheet.

In order for states to receive federal funds for elections, they will be required to comply with “integrity measures set forth by Federal law, including the requirement that states use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship,” the document said.

“The Order improves the integrity of elections by directing the updating of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 and security standards for voting equipment and prioritizing federal grant funds accordingly,” the administration said. “This includes requiring a voter-verifiable paper ballot record and not using ballots in which the counted vote is contained within a barcode or QR code.”

The order empowers federal law enforcement officials to take greater action to track down and combat cases of voter fraud.

“All agencies must report on compliance with undoing Biden Executive Order 14019, which turned Federal agencies into Democratic voter turnout centers,” the document said.
