In a bold move to safeguard America’s elections, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at tightening voting requirements and ensuring that only legal citizens can cast ballots, a commonsense measure that most Americans agree with.
The order mandates that states require proof of citizenship for voter registration and limits the counting of mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day—a practice that has fueled distrust in election outcomes.
While election integrity advocates and constitutionalists praised the executive order, it immediately sparked outrage from left-wing groups that have long resisted efforts to secure America’s elections. Predictably, New Mexico’s Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver’s office wasted no time voicing its displeasure.
“It is important to emphasize, though, that elections are the constitutional purview of the states, except for narrowly focused congressional actions,” said Secretary of State spokesman Alex Curtas. He admitted the office was still analyzing the executive order, adding that “the public should anticipate legal efforts to oppose this executive order.”
Election Integrity: A Core Priority for Trump
President Trump has long been a champion for election security, a cause that resonates with millions of Americans who witnessed widespread irregularities and questionable practices during the 2020 election. The executive order is a direct response to these concerns, reinforcing the need for secure, transparent elections where every legal vote counts—and only legal votes count.
The order would also ensure that states receiving federal funds comply with stronger election integrity measures, which many believe is a necessary step to prevent fraud and abuse in the system.
Leftist Groups Threaten Lawsuits to Protect Loopholes
Unsurprisingly, leftist organizations quickly announced plans to challenge Trump’s order in court. The League of Women Voters of the United States, known for opposing election integrity measures, called the executive order “an assault on our republic and a dangerous attempt to silence American voters.” Their chief counsel, Marcia Johnson, went so far as to label the order “plainly unlawful” and vowed to use “every tool at our disposal” to fight it.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), another predictable opponent of common-sense election reforms, described the order as “a significant overreach of executive power” and promised to take legal action. “We will see President Trump in court,” threatened Sophia Lin Lakin, director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project.
New Mexico SOS’ Office Aligns with Anti-Integrity Forces
In line with national leftist efforts to challenge election security, New Mexico’s Secretary of State’s office, led by Democrat Maggie Toulouse Oliver, is positioning itself to resist these reforms. Curtas confirmed the office is “working closely with the New Mexico Department of Justice to analyze the impact of this executive order on New Mexico’s voters and election administrators.”
This move underscores the SOS office’s consistent resistance to meaningful election integrity efforts, despite growing concerns about vulnerabilities in mail-in voting and voter registration systems.
Americans Demand Secure Elections
Despite the manufactured outrage from activist groups, millions of Americans support stronger voter ID laws and tighter election controls. Requiring proof of citizenship is a common-sense measure to ensure that non-citizens do not dilute the votes of legitimate American voters. Mail-in ballots arriving days after Election Day create uncertainty and undermine trust in the system—something President Trump is determined to fix.
By standing firm on election integrity, President Trump is answering the call of countless Americans who want fair and transparent elections. His executive order sends a clear message: the days of loose election standards and questionable practices are over.
Resist! You’re shit on a shingle office will just draw more attention from Trump, bravo!
The lights are on and the rats and roaches are running around in circles , Gotta love it , who is your Daddy ?
We all know that when the lights turn on, the cucarachas scurry back into the dark, dank pipes they crawled out of…
The light is truth, integrity and honesty. Shine the light New Mexico, and those who run… well, there you have it.
Do Better New Mexico!
Love it..
Mr. Musk please come to New Mexico there is a lot of swamp and corruption here , bring extra DOGE ammo .
The Democratic party in New Mexico is slowly destroying itself., just not fast enough .🇺🇸
Any DemocRats who object to confirming Citizenship prior to registering to vote…are lying hypocrites, and should be voted out of office. I would also suggest Politicians be given a test, confirming they have read the Constitution, support it and agree to uphold and enforce it.
How about swear to uphold. Agree seems squishy.
The Constitution would have to be explained in detail to them because most of them are unable to understand what they read, which makes one wonder how they ever got into politics in the first place.
I agree with you. They need to take a written test on the constitution and all amendments as well as the three branches of government. 95% or better to run for any office.
Maggie and MLG of course are fighting this since in the state of New Mexico that would most likely eliminate quite a percentage of democrat voters doing away with their advantage against the RNC
If Trump/Congress would withhold all Federal funding from New Mexico if they refuse to uphold election integrity (among many, many, many other things that NM does illegally), the State would fold like a house of cards. We are an upside/down state….meaning that we receive far more Federal dollars than we produce. MLG and the rest are basically telling Trump “I DARE YOU!” Well, I know it would hurt us for a little while but in the long run it would help fix the most corrupt state in the nation!I say, do it Trump!If they want a fight, then give it to them!
The public should expect… more courtroom drama… from the courtroom drama queens who thrive off this cr*p.
Meaning… Your taxpayer dollars are going to be diverted to attorneys across New Mexico and right into their pocketbooks…(minus a certain % for the elected NM DNC members to pay to play).
11 to 20 million Illicit immigrants in the Nation… depending on what is used… more than 5 times the Citizens living in NM, a place where the tolite seat sitting queen of Santa Fe goobenor refuses to acknowledge there is an illegal immigrant issue.
No telling how many convicts and others who vote that are not permitted to vote… I haven’t even heard of a voter role purge and check by this b*atch since she’s been messing with voting records for almost 7 years now.
How many 93 year olds, now 100, are still alive and voting? and… are they registered as a Democrat? Better yet…How many 100 year olds when she took office are still voting who are now 107? And then of course how many 107 year olds back then, who are now 114 are still on the voter rolls and still voting?
How many voting absentee ballots are postmarked from another State? Excluding Military that is…
Now that Gene Hackman and his wife have passed, are they still going to vote in the next election cycle? Mr. Hackman suffered from dementia type illness for years… Ill bet he voted every time Democrat weather he knew it or not.
Santa Fe will do that to you dont you know. I know it may be a bit off center for thin skinned people… But… How many ballots come from nursing homes and what percentage are Democrat?
Hella of a post . Time for the clown show to go .
Maybe now New Mexico can turn red .
That would be a Wonderful sight to behold!
Would be great, seems to be going there.
It is no surprise that the Demonrats have long supported a system of limited fraud in voting. Mail in ballots need to be scrutinized to a higher level and only used for the purpose it was designed for. I so far have not read of anything that would become a barrier to any legitimate USA citizen that would deny their right to vote. It for the most part is just common sense and should be supported by both major parties, if not, it would seem obvious they are hiding something.
It’s the Law, every law abiding citizen agrees with Trump order. Those who oppose it have something to hide. You must be a US citizen to vote…common sense….no brainer.
“an assault on our republic and a dangerous attempt to silence American voters.”
Classic communofascist double speak…..
Yes, part of the goal to silence South American and Central American voters illegally casting ballots in United States elections… THEY AREN’T CITIZENS!
An assault on our republic? That’s laughable.
Maybe an assault on communofascist concept of republic, ie, “the people’s republic of china”.
Finally, election integrity is in the spotlight!!!!
Maybe this next election, MY vote won’t be silenced in a torrent of illegal ballots!
Hey MAGS. Your party is at a 26% DISAPPROVAL rate… and tanking.
We know YOU and the POS GOV GRISHAM and AG Torrez are ALL FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS TO DESTROY OUR STATE.
That ends NOW. We the People voted for President Trump and Team in a massive landslide hiring him to do EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING. Draining the Swamp and YOU are that swamp. RESIGN NOW.
You have no more power here. RESIGN.
The low-rent behavior of the Governor’s offices MUST STOP. Trump will stop you, better start adulting soon.
Oliver, you’re going to lose. (Pun intended)
Election integrity is the most necessary ingredient to repel the commie takeover of NM! Honest elections threaten the Marxist scum that have placed their functionaries there to lord over New Mexicans by fraud. Finally a breath of fresh air!
The United States Military has been training to attack and eliminate communists since the Korean War……Sure looks like they wont have far to travel next time…………
It’s difficult to understand why the left resists this common sense position. If I tried to vote in a different country it would not be allowed. Some countries shoot those who cross the border illegally. We need to enforce our own laws.
Proof of citizenship. I am ready for that.
Right, let’s go MAGA!
“The executive order is a direct response to these concerns, reinforcing the need for secure, transparent elections where every legal vote counts—and only legal votes count.”
Exactly!
Just to let you know that proof of citizenship is required to vote in New Mexico. You must show it when you register, or if you don’t have it with you, your registration is marked so that you cannot vote until you have presented proof of citizenship.
Also, it seems likely to me that many absentee ballots from out of state may well be from students who are studying outside New Mexico.
Same day voting would be good if election day was a state and federal holiday.
Dembocraps can’t figure out why legitimate ID isn’t racist or illegal but they continue cry ” foul”.. enough of this BS from the Dembocraps!!!
