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
A new White House rule would prohibit the use of federal grant money for voter registration drives, including programs that help disabled Americans register and vote. ProPublica reported the measure as part of the Trump administration's broader effort to restrict voting access. Critics warn it could sharply reduce registration efforts among vulnerable groups ahead of upcoming elections, while supporters argue federal funds should not support voter mobilization.
Why now: Reporting on the rule is drawing attention to its potential impact on voting access, especially for disabled Americans.
