With no federal funding and a massive logistical overhaul underway — including building the first-ever national voter database and redesigning ballot envelopes — election experts warn this is a “logistical nightmare,” especially for rural and under-resourced counties. While the administration claims it’s about election security and stopping voter fraud, critics call it an illegal federal overreach, arguing states must run their own elections. Lawsuits are mounting, and even some Republicans are questioning why the federal government is meddling in state election duties — all while a judge recently noted the administration hasn’t done enough to actually implement the order.
