#Maine: As Maine eyes voter ID law, Trump order tightens federal registration rules
by Caroline LeCour, March 27, 2025
"As Maine voters eye a statewide voter ID proposal, a new #ExecutiveOrder from President Donald #Trump is adding another layer to the conversation around election integrity and access.
"The order signed Wednesday would require proof of #USCitizenship to register for #FederalElections and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day—a change from the current system in many states that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received later.
"Though separate from Maine's voter ID proposal—which addresses identification at the polls rather than registration—some in the state see a common goal.
"'This is a policy, different policies to strengthen our elections, to increase confidence of voters to participate in our democratic process,' #AlexTitcomb, of the grassroots organization The Dinner Table, [a #Conservative #PAC] said. The group spared Maine's voter ID proposal, which was certified by the Maine Secretary of State earlier this year.
"Critics argue that requiring documents many voters may not readily have—especially those whose names may not match across forms of ID—could discourage legitimate voters from participating.
"'A lot of married women have changed their names, some of their documents don't match up,' Jen Lancaster, with the League of Women Voters of Maine, said. 'Maybe they don't have the perfect document, and they get turned away. That's what #VoterSuppression is. It's eligible voters being denied their right to vote.'
"Lancaster says the executive order is likely to face legal challenges, echoing concerns from national #VotingRights organizations."

#Trump seeks to mandate proof of #citizenship in #VoterRegistration
"Only about half of Americans have a U.S. passport, and only five states currently offer enhanced driver's licenses that show proof of citizenship."
By Jude Joffe-Block, March 26, 20251:09 AM ET
Excerpt: "#VotingRights advocates, however, warn outdated databases can erroneously list naturalized citizens as noncitizens. Past efforts by states to purge noncitizens from voter rolls have sometimes swept up eligible U.S. citizens.
"The executive order also seeks to stop states from counting mail or absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after by withholding funding from states that allow such ballots to be counted.
"Proof of citizenship requirement
"Ahead of the 2024 election, Trump and his allies made baseless claims about the threat of noncitizens voting in large numbers.
"The current federal voter registration form asks registrants to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens and eligible to vote, and to provide a driver's license number, state ID number or Social Security number. Those who attempt to vote illegally can face prison time, fines or deportation. Past audits and studies have shown such cases are incredibly rare.
"Yet Republicans have made requiring documentary proof of citizenship a policy priority. The executive order borrows heavily from the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the #SAVEAct, a Republican-backed bill. House Republicans have signaled that they intend to pass it in their chamber but it faces difficult odds in the Senate.
"The executive order shows #Trump isn't waiting for Congress. But legal experts say that he does not have the authority through #ExecutiveOrder to make such changes, and the order conflicts with existing #FederalVotingLaw.
"'It's illegal at many different levels,' said Sean Morales-Doyle, the voting rights director at the #BrennanCenter for Justice, a nonprofit that studies and advocates for voting rights. The order directs the #ElectionAssistanceCommission, a small, independent bipartisan agency, to make various changes, including to the federal #VoterRegistration form, but Morales-Doyle said the president can't tell that commission what to do.
"Requiring documentary proof of #citizenship would radically upend voter registration if such a mandate were to take effect.
"The order is explicit that applies to anyone who uses the federal voter registration form. What is less clear is if the order would also pressure states to require showing proof of citizenship with state registration forms, such as by #WithholdingFunds.
"The order only lists a limited number of ways to prove U.S. citizenship. The options given are a U.S. passport, an ID that complies with the #RealIDAct that shows citizenship or a military ID that shows citizenship. A fourth option is a valid government photo ID that 'indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship,' but does not say if a birth certificate would count."

I knew the Trump regime would get around to this eventually. They are
now attempting to dismantle U.S. history.
I have no words.
Actually, I do have words. Lots of angry, impolite ones.
Not just about this, but about all the destruction the Trump regime has wrought.
“The #Trump administration has sent a letter to some large #companies in the #EU warning them to comply with an #executiveorder banning #diversity, #equity and #inclusion programmes.” www.ft.com/content/02ed...
US tells European companies to...
#Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder cites the Natl Museum of #AfricanAmericanHistory & #Culture by name & argues that the #Smithsonian as a whole is engaging in a “concerted & widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history.”
Instead of celebrating an “unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, & human happiness,”the order states that a “corrosive…divisive, race-centered ideology”has “reconstructed”the nation “as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”
#CivilRights advocates, #historians & #Black political leaders sharply rebuked #Trump on Friday for his order, entitled “Restoring Truth & Sanity to American History.” They argued that his #ExecutiveOrder targeting the #Smithsonian Institution is his admin’s latest move to downplay how #race, #racism & #BlackAmericans themselves have shaped the nation’s story.
Federal Judge Bates, George W. Bush appointee, has also issued a #TRO for #Trump's #ExecutiveOrder targeting major #LawFirm #JennerBlock, finding it likely violates the First, Fifth & Sixth Amendments.
Judge Bates calls Trump's #EO "disturbing" & "troubling," especially the attack on pro bono practice.
And #Trump loves the #PhotoOp that comes FREE!! FREE!! FREE!! with every #ExecutiveOrder
Lawyer Paul Clement argued on the #LawFirm #WilmerHale’s behalf that it was “clear as day” that the #Trump #ExecutiveOrder against the firm violated the #FirstAmendment. He said the chilling effect on the firm’s business had been immediate.
#DOJ lawyer Richard Lawson urged Judge Leon not to issue a temporary restraining order #TRO, arguing the specific limitations for Wilmer Hale had not been decided, so there was no reason to rush a court decision.
Davisson was also quoted in Fierce Healthcare discussing President Trump's recent Executive Order requiring federal agencies to modify guidelines restricting unclassified data access: www.fiercehealthcare.com/regulatory/f...
#ExecutiveOrder #DOGE #DataAccess #InfoSec
![Davisson was quoted in Fierce Healthcare: “This is the loudest signal yet to federal agencies that they’re expected to ignore privacy and security safeguards and give the Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE] full control over the data they hold. Nominally limiting DOGE access to what is ‘consistent with law’ is meaningless when the administration is already systematically violating federal privacy laws.”](https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/cache/media_attachments/files/114/241/569/764/016/802/small/7e1c35c742ed64ce.jpeg "Davisson was quoted in Fierce Healthcare: “This is the loudest signal yet to federal agencies that they’re expected to ignore privacy and security safeguards and give the Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE] full control over the data they hold.

Attacking the #smithsonian ? Really? And assigning unqualified cronies “ to remove improper ideology from such properties, and shall recommend to the President any additional actions necessary to fully effectuate such policies”.
Museum of#DegenerateArt anyone?
Join me, proud American with what JD and the gang would deem “improper ideology”, and fight the #fascists .
Expose some shameful truths and some toxic lies. The whole of our history must be known and then let’s do better.
#ExecutiveOrder
The #law firm Jenner & Block sued the US govt on Friday, after #Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder suspending #security clearances for its lawyers & restricting access to government buildings, officials & federal contracting work.

Trump executive order on Smith...
Having difficulty accepting what is happening with Voice of America, NPR, PBS, and now the #Smithsonian Institution...
The #Smithsonian, the official keeper of the American story, has operated independently as a public-private partnership created by an act of #Congress in 1846. #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder is an unprecedented act to edit an institution that — reflective of the nation itself — has expanded to include a wider, richer & more diverse telling of the nation’s #history.
#Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder Thurs evening promising to eliminate “corrosive” & “divisive narratives” from the #Smithsonian’s museums & restore “monuments, memorials, statues, markers” removed over the past 5 yrs.
The “Restoring Truth & Sanity to #AmericanHistory” order directs #JDVance to eliminate what he finds “improper” from the Smithsonian Institution, including its #museums, #education & #research centers, & the National Zoo to remove “anti-American ideology.”
