Donald Trump signed an executive order that makes radical changes to ensure that elections are 'free, honest and honest' and possibly get millions of voters roles.
Trump has signed an order that includes that documentary proof of citizenship must require to register to vote for federal elections and to demand that all ballot papers are received on election day.
Voting rights groups have expressed concern that the required people could deprive.
An estimated 9% of American citizens of voting age, or 21.3 million people, have no evidence of citizenship available, according to studies.
The order says that the US did not have failed to 'maintain basic and necessary election protection' and calls on states to collaborate with federal agencies to share voter lists and to prosecute election crime.
It threatens to draw federal financing from states that election officials do not pay.
The move, which is likely to be confronted with rapid challenges because states have a broad authority to establish their own election rules, is consistent with the long history of Trump of the suspicion of fraud.
He often claims that elections are decorated and fighting against certain voting methods, because he lost the 2020 elections to Democrat Joe Biden and blamed the results of widespread fraud.

Trump has focused in particular on voting the mail, with the argument that it is uncertain and invites fraud, even if he has shifted his position on the issue, given his popularity among voters, including Republicans.
The documentary proof of the order of the citizenship requirement indicates that the president is not waiting for congress republicans to inspect their long -awaited security law for the American voters, or Save Act, who wanted to do the same.
Republicans have defended that measure if necessary to restore the trust of the public in elections. Voting at federal elections by non -citizens is already illegal and can lead to crime charges and deportation.
There are also worries that married women who have changed their names experiences problems when they try to register because their birth certificates mention their first names.
Such hik happened in recent city elections in New Hampshire, who have a new state law that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote.
The order of Trump leads federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to share with federal data from election officials who can help them not -citizens to identify their roles.
It also says that the attorney general must give priority to the enforcement of federal election integrity laws' in states that do not share information about suspected election crimes with the federal government.
The order is intended to require that voting on election day is 'released and received' and says that the federal financing must be conditional about compliance with the state.

Currently, 18 states and Puerto Rico accept e -mailed ballot papers that were received after the election day as long as they are pronounced on or before that date, according to the National Conference of State legislatures.
The order of Trump is likely to be confronted with legal challenges, since the Constitution gives authority on elections to the States.
Although the congress has the authority to regulate votes – and has done this to approve laws as the law on the voting rights – the Constitution makes it clear that states have the primary authority to determine 'times, places and way' for elections.
The executive power does have some authority about elections, said Justin Levitt, an expert of constitutional law and former senior policy adviser of the White House during the Biden administration.
He said that some federal agencies offer election support, including the US Election Assistance Commission, which spreads federal subsidies to states and performs a voluntary certification program for voice systems.
The American cyber security and infrastructure protection agency helps election officials to protect their systems.
Former President Biden issued an executive order in 2021 in which federal agencies were commissioned to take steps to stimulate the registration of voters, those complaints from Republicans that called the federal over -range. Trump has withdrawn that order.
Trump's Order calls on the election aid committee to change guidelines for the voting system to protect the integrity of the elections, including guidelines that voice systems are not allowed to use a vote that uses a barcode or QR code in the voting process.

It said that the committee must condition the financing it distributes to states about those new guidelines.
Almost all personal voters in Georgia, as well as voters in various other states, use voting machines with a large touchscreen to register their voice.
The machines then print a paper ballot with a summary of the selection of the vote and a QR code, a type of barcode, read by a scanner to count the voices.
It is not entirely clear how the Georgia command and the other areas of law would influence these machines.
Representatives of State Secretary Brad Raffenperger did not immediately respond to reports that were commenting on Tuesday evening.
Raffenperger has issued a statement in which Trump was thanked for the executive order and called it a 'great first step for the reform of election integrity'.
Mike Lindell, an ally of Trump who spreads conspiracies of the elections and who wants to ban voice systems in favor of hand-continued ballot papers, on Tuesday in fundraising the news and says in an e-mail that it will solve our 'sick elections'.
The executive order of Trump comes when the Republican National Committee has made a massive effort to investigate the voters' registration list nationwide.
This week, the Commission requested public archives to request documents with regard to the maintenance of the voter role in 48 states and Washington, DC, and claims that the public must know how to remove non-intended people from voter roles, including dead people and non-citizens.
Trump referred to election fraud when he signed the order on Tuesday and said, “This will hopefully end it.” He added that more election actions would be taken in the coming weeks.
