Donald Trump says he will issue an executive order to ensure every single vote will require identification, a move that could affect millions. Key US politics stories from Sunday 31 August at a glance
Donald Trump has said he will issue an executive order to mandate voter identification at all US elections, with \u201cno exceptions\u201d.
\u201cVoter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!,\u201d the US president said on Truth Social late on Saturday.
Any such move is likely to be challenged in court as unconstitutional.
The US constitution grants<\/a> primary authority to regulate elections to the US states, while empowering Congress to enact election laws or regulations. It gives no explicit authority to the president to regulate voting.
Voter fraud is incredibly rare and voter ID laws have been shown to disproportionately impact minorities, low-income individuals and disabled voters. \u201cAs many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the kind of ID that is required by states with strict ID requirements, and that percentage is even higher among seniors, minorities, people with disabilities, low-income voters, and students,\u201d the Brennan Center for Justice states<\/a>.
The US president also stated he wants to ban all voting by mail except for those who are very ill or in military service.
The voting change push by Trump stems from baseless claims that the 2020 election he lost was stolen from him. Earlier this month, Trump falsely claimed<\/a> only the US uses mail-in voting. Dozens of countries permit<\/a> at least some form of mail-in voting.

Pritzker, a Democrat, told CBS on Sunday: \u201cAny kind of troops on the streets of an American city don\u2019t belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not \u2026 I\u2019m going to do everything I can to stop him from taking away people\u2019s rights and from using the military to invade states. I think it\u2019s very important for us all to stand up.\u201d
