TRUMP SAYS HE WILL ORDER VOTER ID REQUIREMENT FOR EVERY VOTE – Trump pledged to end the use of mail-in ballots and voting machines
U.S. President Donald Trump said that he will issue an executive order to require voter identification from every voter.
“Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military,” he added.
Trump has long questioned the U.S. electoral system and stands on his belief that his 2020 loss to Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread fraud.
The president and his Republican allies also have made claims about widespread voting by non-citizens, which is illegal.
Earlier in August, Trump pledged to issue an executive order to end the use of mail-in ballots and voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. However, federal elections are administered at the state level and it is unclear whether the president has the constitutional power to enact such a measure.
