Secure the Vote Maryland strongly supports President Donald J. Trump's latest Executive Order to strengthen election security across the United States.
This action represents a commonsense and necessary step toward ensuring that every federal election is conducted with transparency, accountability, and trust.
The Executive Order reinforces a fundamental principle: the right to vote in federal elections is reserved for United States citizens. By leveraging existing federal resources to verify voter eligibility and modernizing mail-in ballot security, this order helps close gaps that have weakened public confidence in recent years.
Key provisions-such as the creation of state-level citizenship verification lists, enhanced ballot tracking through the United States Postal Service, and enforcement mechanisms tied to federal funding-provide states with the tools and incentives needed to uphold the law and protect the integrity of the electoral process.
Marylanders, like all Americans, deserve elections that are secure, accurate, and transparent.
Secure the Vote Maryland calls on the Maryland State Board of Elections to fully comply with this Executive Order and to work proactively with federal partners to implement these improvements. Consistency in applying federal guidance-regardless of administration-is essential to maintaining public trust.
We remain committed to advocating for election security, monitoring compliance, and ensuring that Maryland voters can have full confidence in the electoral system.
