Vermont Prepared to Fight President's New Mail-in Voting Order
The order seeks to hinder mail voting and create a voter list as lawmakers and state officials warn of legal challenges.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to compile verified voter lists ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
- Trump asserted the order aims at "stopping the massive cheating that's gone on," describing it as a "foolproof" measure following recent infighting over the SAVE Act regarding voter identification requirements.
- States must provide mail-in voter lists to the Postal Service at least 60 days before federal elections, while Attorney General Pam Bondi is instructed to prioritize investigations into officials issuing ballots to ineligible voters.
- Democratic leaders immediately denounced the move as unconstitutional; California Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed to challenge the order in court, characterizing it as an illegal federal overreach into state elections.
- Nearly 30 states are already fighting federal lawsuits over voter data, and legal experts warn courts have previously blocked similar executive attempts to impose new election rules.
