Look Who's Stalling Trump's Election Integrity Protections

What it is

Unelected bureaucrats have a reputation for delaying processes, particularly regarding election integrity efforts. This is evident in the implementation of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14248, signed on March 25, aimed at securing the election system.

Why it matters

  • During a recent EAC meeting, a vote on the next iteration of the VVSG was postponed after a committee member expressed a lack of sufficient feedback on the proposed guidelines
  • Political concerns have also surfaced, with Democratic lawmakers requesting a halt to the consideration of the draft guidelines, arguing that the EAC is compromising its independence due to the executive order
  • They have labeled the order as unlawful, citing injunctions from federal judges that have impeded its implementation
  • The executive order includes provisions requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voters and aims to limit mail-in ballots, which have been criticized for security vulnerabilities
  • Some states are already moving towards these standards, with Georgia mandating the removal of QR codes from ballots by next year
  • The NASED's decision to delay the vote on the voting system guidelines has drawn scrutiny, especially considering its affiliations with various organizations, including technology companies involved in voting systems
