President Donald Trump on Tuesday is expected to sign an executive order cracking down on mail-in voting, the White House said.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X that the president will sign the order at the White House on Tuesday evening. Her statement confirmed earlier reporting by the Daily Caller, which said Trump would sign the order.

According to the Daily Caller, the executive order would require the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. DHS would undertake the effort with the Social Security Administration, the Daily Caller wrote, citing a White House fact sheet.
