PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order to preserve and protect the integrity of American elections. In the order, the president announced his intention to enforce the citizenship requirement for federal elections, which follows our state’s model championed by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club.
“President Trump campaigned on a promise to improve the integrity of American elections, and he has followed through on that commitment,” said Scot Mussi, President of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club. “This order from the president is a tremendous start to enforcing our nation’s laws and fostering more confidence in our elections from people on all sides of the political aisle. We look forward to working with the White House and other states to help implement the Arizona proof-of-citizenship model across the country.”
In addition to the proof of citizenship component, the order also sets in motion certain actions to provide other assistance to states verifying eligibility, improve the Election Assistance Commission, prosecute election crimes, improve security of voting systems, comply with federal law setting the national election day, and prevent foreign interference and unlawful use of federal funds.
President Trump’s order states, “Despite pioneering self-government, the United States now fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections employed by modern, developed nations, as well as those still developing… Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election.”
