On August 31, 2025, President Trump announced plans to issue an executive order mandating voter identification for every ballot, with “no exceptions,” signaling a major overhaul of U.S. election protocols. The order also aims to eliminate most mail-in voting, except for the medically infirm and military serving abroad, citing concerns over 2020 election integrity. While Trump continues to assert the need for secure voting, critics argue the move is unconstitutional and a federal overreach into state-managed elections. Election officials point out that mail-in ballots and machine counts are reliable and efficient compared to slower, error-prone alternatives. The proposal is expected to face fierce legal pushback and rapid challenges. This move marks another flashpoint ahead of the 2026 midterms, raising alarm among voting rights advocates.
