JUST IN:Donald Trump is reportedly considering issuing an executive order declaring a “national emergency” to give himself unprecedented powers over elections. The order could allow him to interfere with voting ahead of the midterm elections.
A 17-page draft executive order is circulating among Trump allies and activists that would say a national emergency exists because of alleged interference in U.S. elections — including claims about China’s role in the 2020 election.
The draft would reportedly give the president extraordinary power over aspects of voting, including provisions to ban mail-in ballots, eliminate some voting machines, and impose rules like federal voter ID requirements.
Supporters of the plan claim it’s necessary to “protect election integrity,” but they are relying on unproven or widely debunked claims about foreign interference and threats to the election system.
📊 What critics and experts say
Constitutional scholars and democracy advocates argue this sort of order would conflict with the U.S. Constitution, which gives individual states the primary responsibility for running elections.
If such an emergency order were issued and tried in court, experts predict it would likely face strong legal challenges because presidents do not have clear authority to take over state-run elections.
