The Trump administration has begun compiling state‑by‑state lists of adult citizens who are eligible to vote, a move that many see as an attempt to tighten voter rolls and curb fraud. However, officials have admitted they will miss the 60‑day pre‑Election deadline, raising questions about the timing and effectiveness of the effort. Critics argue the delay undermines the goal of ensuring accurate voter registration, while supporters claim it is a necessary step to protect the integrity of the electoral process. The initiative comes amid ongoing debates over voter suppression and election security across the country.
The Trump administration is taking the unprecedented step of creating lists of adult citizens who are eligible to vote in each state – but will not meet its own deadline 60 days before Election Day.
