Trump Signs EO Requiring Proof of Citizenship in Federal Elections

On the one hand, I tend to favor this...OTOH, I tend to favor leaving things to the states when possible.

So I don't know.

There seem to be substantial evidence that voter fraud by noncitizens isn't that common.

OTOH, there's at least some evidence that some of it is slipping through the cracks.

One reasonable observation is that elections need not only to be fair, but to be obviously fair. This in order to produce confidence in the outcomes. And the Dems' bizarre recent radicalization on this (and many other) issue(s) does the opposite--it obviously decreases the confidence we can have in the results.

Tightening restrictions on mail-in ballots is good. Apparently it's fairly common knowledge that mail-in ballots are less-secure than in-person voting. I agree with the Pubs that we should go back to having an election day, with mail-in ballots only for absentee voting and suchlike--e.g. for people too old or sick to make it to the polls.

Given the Dems' bizarre radicalization over the past decade or so, I'm suspicious of their efforts to loosen up voting laws. They've gone to the mat for de facto open borders. Many are now certainly speaking and acting as if they believe that deportation is never, or almost never, permissible. Some Democrat cities have begun allowing noncitizen voting in local elections. Thing is, I've become suspicious of the general ideas that are motivating the left in this respect (and in others, of course). It just seems that they don't quite believe in a hard-and-fast distinction between citizens and noncitizens anymore. It kind of seems that they just don't think that noncitizen voting would be such a big deal. And IMO this is cause for concern.
