Any move to force changes to #state run #election systems is likely to face immediate #legal challenges.

#Trump claimed only a judge could block the order & complained that there were many "rogue" & "very bad" judges. "I don't see how they can challenge it," he said about the executive order.

The order would use federal #data to help state #election officials verify who is “eligible” to #vote in their jurisdictions. It would also require #AbsenteeBallots to be sent only to ⁠voters on each state's “approved” mail-in ballot list & mandate “secure” ballot envelopes with unique tracking barcodes.
