Trump to Sign Executive Order Curbing Mail-In Voting

President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Tuesday to limit mail-in voting. The order mandates that the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration compile a list of eligible voters, and the Postal Service can only send ballots to those on the list. This follows Trump's persistent claims of mail-in voting fraud after the 2020 election. The action is tied to the SAVE America Act, which requires voter ID and citizenship proof, approved by the House but pending in the Senate. The move underscores ongoing efforts to reform election procedures. Further details are expected as the story develops.
