White House rule would bar federal funds for voter registration drives
Original: A new White House rule would prohibit anyone from using federal grant money for voter registration drives, including one
The Trump administration has proposed a new White House rule that would prohibit the use of federal grant money for voter registration drives, including programs that help disabled Americans register and vote. Critics, including ProPublica's reporting, say the measure is part of a broader effort to restrict voting access, and the change is drawing strong reaction from voting rights advocates.
Why now: The rule is seen as a significant new restriction on voting access ahead of upcoming elections.
