Summary

Trump’s recent executive order on elections includes a provision allowing the DOJ to withhold federal funding from states that do not enter into agreements on election law violations and voter roll maintenance.

Critics argue this exceeds presidential authority and could coerce states into ceding control over election administration.

Experts warn it could undermine state autonomy and lead to punitive funding cuts over routine voter roll maintenance errors.

Legal analysts predict challenges, citing potential overreach and conflict with congressional authority.

    The states that refuse to give DOJ control of elections should just stop sending tax revenue to the federal government. California is like the 4th or 5th largest economy in the world. If NY and Cali stopped sending $$ then he couldn’t fund shit!
