Trump Considers Executive Order Declaring National Emergency Over Election Interference

Reports indicate that former US President Donald Trump is considering an executive order to declare a national emergency over alleged foreign interference, particularly by China, in the 2020 elections. This order could grant him powers to ban mail-in ballots and mandate voter ID for the upcoming midterms. Legal advocate Peter Ticktin, aligned with Trump, supports the order but acknowledges that election administration is constitutionally controlled by states and legislatures. The White House has not commented on these plans.
