President Donald Trump issued a new executive order aimed at affecting voting laws, requiring proof of citizenship to cast ballots in federal elections. However, the order may have no impact on Wisconsin due to historical exemptions. The order also seeks to withhold federal funds from states that count ballots received after election day, which does not apply to Wisconsin.
Wisconsin officials do not use the federal registration form in question and are not allowed to based on a court decision. While the order may not directly impact elections in the state, it could lead to confusion and disenfranchise certain voters in the long term.
The order is seen as a test of Trump’s authority on voting rights, with potential federal lawsuits challenging its legality. Critics argue that the order could disenfranchise certain groups, such as married women, rural residents, and elderly individuals. Ultimately, the order highlights ongoing efforts to combat voter fraud, which voting rights groups argue is largely nonexistent.
