Trump signs election order calling for proof of US citizenship to vote

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that would require voters to prove they are US citizens and attempts to prevent states from counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day, Report informs via Reuters.

The sweeping order also would seek to take federal funding away from states that do not comply.

"We've got to straighten out our elections," Trump said on Tuesday as he signed the order at the White House. "This country is so sick because of the elections, the fake elections and the bad elections, we're going to straighten that out one way or the other."

The order is likely to draw legal challenges.
