President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 31, aiming to exert federal control over voter rolls and mail-in ballots. The order requires the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate with the Social Security Administration to create lists of voting-age US citizens. The US Postal Service would oversee mail-in ballots, developing rules for uniform standards and preventing transmission of ballots to unapproved individuals. Indiana's primary election is scheduled for May 5, with early voting starting soon. The state's Secretary of State confirmed the executive order will not impact the primary election. The order is expected to face legal challenges from voter advocacy groups and state attorneys general, who argue it is an unprecedented intrusion into election administration.
