Trump signals bid to nationalize voter ID via executive order

President Donald Trump hinted he’ll issue an executive order to require voter IDs before ballots are distributed if Congress stalls on the issue, as the House passed a citizenship-proof voter ID bill that’s unlikely to win Senate approval. Republicans broadly back ID requirements, while Democrats and voting-rights groups warn such measures could disenfranchise marginalized voters. The constitution assigns election administration to states, fueling questions about a federal takeover, and the SAVE Act has been reintroduced but faces a filibuster in the Senate.
