    "President Donald Trump pledged Monday that he will try to eliminate mail-in voting, after telling Fox News that authoritarian Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with him on the subject during their meeting last week.

    "Despite lacking any sort of constitutional power on the matter, Trump declared in a Truth Social post that he would sign an executive order to 'help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections,' and attempt to strip states of their independent authority to oversee elections, and is demanding they just do what he tells them to."

    Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

    #Trump signs order seeking to overhaul US elections, including requiring proof of #citizenship

    By ALI SWENSON and CHRISTINA A. CASSIDY, March 25, 2025

    NEW YORK (AP) — "President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive action to overhaul elections in the U.S., including requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and demanding that all ballots be received by Election Day.

    "The order says the U.S. has failed 'to enforce basic and necessary election protections' and calls on states to work with federal agencies to share voter lists and prosecute election crimes. It threatens to pull federal funding from states where election officials don’t comply."
