Trump issues executive orders on mail ballots and religious bias

President Donald Trump has issued several executive orders targeting election administration and religious protections. A recent Supreme Court ruling via the shadow docket lifted a stay on an order that directs the Department of Homeland Security to demand voter rolls from states. Under this order, the United States Postal Service is instructed to refuse the delivery of mail ballots in any state that fails to comply with these demands.

Additionally, the administration has taken actions impacting First Amendment protections. This includes an executive order titled ‘Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias,’ which claims the previous administration targeted Christians. Other reported actions include the targeting of certain speakers for detention and the exclusion of specific media organizations from government briefings.
