Let’s be clear: This executive order attempts to wrap our state-run elections in massive federal government red tape—while handing Elon Musk the keys to sensitive state voter registration lists & systems. It won't stand up to the scrutiny of the courts or the American people.

Most election law is created at the state level. Trump’s EO represents a massive attempt to control who gets to vote and how our elections run. Our state & local election officials do not need a mandate that will create more chaos and confusion.

States already have in place robust checks and balances to ensure only citizens vote. New bureaucratic documentary mandates will only create chaos and make it harder for eligible voters to make their voices heard at the ballot box. votingrightslab.org/2024/10/28/s...

Directing the Attorney General to prosecute state election law violations represents President Trump’s attempts to create a Florida-style federal election police. It’s an obvious power grab purely for political gain.

Our Constitution is clear: only Congress and the states set the rules for our elections. And Elon Musk and DOGE should be nowhere near sensitive data in state voter registration systems.
