Trump Enacts Executive Order to Enhance Election Security in the U.S.

Trump’s latest executive order strives to ensure that U.S. elections match global standards for security and transparency.

Former President Donald Trump has officially enacted a significant executive order focused on revitalizing election integrity across the United States. In a recent statement, Trump asserted that countries like India, Brazil, Germany, Canada, Denmark, and Sweden have set exemplary standards in electoral security, prompting his initiative.

The new order mandates proof of citizenship for voting and emphasizes secure voting methods, similar to practices in other nations. Trump pointed out that India and Brazil utilize biometric databases linked to voter ID, whereas Germany and Canada rely on paper ballots that are counted in person. Additionally, he praised Denmark and Sweden for their strict limitations on mail-in voting, which is reserved solely for those unable to cast their votes on Election Day.

“Free, fair, and honest elections, free from fraud and error, are essential for safeguarding our constitutional Republic,” the order asserts. Trump criticized the acceptance of late-counted ballots, calling it unreasonable and comparing it to allowing people to vote days after polling places have closed.

Despite expected legal hurdles regarding this executive order, Trump remains resolute in his stance. During his 2024 campaign, his team deployed thousands of poll watchers and legal experts to ensure the electoral process was protected, and this new measure reflects his determination to push for a more secure electoral framework.

With this decisive action, Trump sends a clear signal: the United States' elections should strive for the highest standards of security and transparency, ensuring they are not susceptible to vulnerabilities.
