Trump Seeks Enforcement of Mail-In Ballot Order at Supreme Court

Under the proposal, the Postal Service would be prohibited from sending ballots to individuals whose names do not appear on those lists.

The order also requires states to use individualized ballot-tracking barcodes on ballot envelopes and directs the federal government to prioritize the prosecution of state election officials who knowingly send or accept ballots from non-citizens or other individuals who are ineligible to vote.

Trump’s order comes as federal and New Jersey officials announced that as many as 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote in that state, and at least hundreds of them cast ballots in the last election.

It also comes as the Trump administration said it had discovered as many as 250,000 non-citizens are on voter registration rolls in just four states – California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada.
