Statement from Santa Fe County Clerk Katharine E. Clark on President Trump’s Executive Order Targeting Absentee Voting
Santa Fe County, NM – Yesterday, Donald Trump signed a sweeping and deeply troubling executive order that would severely restrict absentee and mail-in voting across the United States. This order attempts to force the creation of a federal voter eligibility list using data from agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration, and would limit access to absentee ballots for voters who are not included.
