President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday implementing significant changes to the election process. The order mandates that voters provide documentary proof of citizenship for registration and ensures all ballots are received by election day. It emphasizes the need for stronger election protections and urges states to collaborate with federal agencies to share voter lists and prosecute election-related crimes.

The order also warns that non-compliant states may face cuts in federal funding. Citing India and Brazil as examples, Trump highlighted that these countries use advanced methods like biometric voter identification, contrasting them with the U.S.'s reliance on self-attestation for citizenship.
