Per the NY Times:
The Trump administration is requiring states to change the way they conduct elections or risk losing tens of millions of federal terrorism-prevention funds, in its latest move that would make voting harder and undermine trust in results that don’t go President Trump’s way.
Courts have already blocked similar efforts by the administration to require changes to voting, saying the Constitution grants power over elections to states and not the executive branch.
Mr. Trump has pushed new policies through cabinet agencies, including the Justice Department and the Homeland Security Department, and drafted two executive orders seeking to make extensive changes to how elections are run. Both of those executive orders have largely been blocked by courts.
Per me: as elected representatives, it is your duty to protect states’ rights. Do everything you can to block these illegal efforts, including and especially the SAVE America Act.
