🚨Native voters are at risk of being silenced. Proof of citizenship creates yet another barrier for Native communities—many elders were born traditionally at home & lack birth certificates. Requiring Native voters to prove our citizenship in our ancestral homelands is a complete slap in the face!
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · Mar 25
President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that will require proof of U.S. citizenship on election forms. The move is in an aggressive push to catch and combat voter fraud, which is exceedingly rare but constantly cited by Trump as a reason he lost the 2020 election.
Trump Signs Executive Order Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote in Elections
Administration officials cited cracking down on immigrants illegally on voter rolls as one of the executive order’s main goals, amplifying Mr. Trump’s grievances about electoral integrity.
