The facts
On March 25, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to help build a centralized voter list and tighten mail-ballot rules.
A federal district judge blocked key parts of the order, and on appeal the D.C. Circuit upheld that injunction in November 2025.
The U.S. Constitution's Elections Clause (Article I, Section 4) gives states primary authority to set the 'times, places and manner' of federal elections.
About 30 states already share voter data through ERIC or similar interstate compacts to catch duplicate registrations, without a federal database.
Roughly 1 in 3 U.S. voters cast a mail ballot in 2024, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
