Executive Order 14399

In March 2026, President Trump was reported to have called for the federal government to "take over" elections, impose national rules, and override state authority in administering elections. The order was issued amid Senate debate over the SAVE America Act, legislation backed by Trump and Senate Republicans that would require proof of citizenship to register and government-issued photo identification to vote in federal elections. The order also proposed tying federal election funding to whether states complied with the new voter verification requirements. == Litigation ==
