White House rule would ban 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 bar the use of federal grant money for voter registration drives, including programs that help disabled Americans register and vote. Critics, including ProPublica's reporting, frame the measure as part of a broader effort by the administration to restrict voting access, and it is drawing attention ahead of upcoming elections.
Why now: The proposed rule is seen as a significant restriction on voting access, drawing concern from voting rights advocates and disability groups.
