IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – President Donald Trump says he plans to issue an executive order to require a voter ID and no more mail-in voting.
President Trump said on social media that he plans to issue an executive order to require identification for all elections in the united states over the weekend.
Trump also says he wants to get rid of mail-in voting except for those who are in the military or ill.
“There are two phases: One is for security…I think it’s going to be better,” said Francisco Cuevas, a local.
Cuevas says voting by mail can be helpful for those who need it.
“The other thing is that when you send your vote by mail you have the option to do it maybe because when you need to vote you might not have time to go,” said Cuevas.
Sandy Cradic says she voted for Trump, but has mixed feelings about this potential order.
“If people are going to fraud…fraud is going to happen regardless no matter which way you do it you know. And I like the idea of filling my ballot and really reading it to make sure, at home…I like the convenience of filling it at home,” said Cradic.
Trump also added there will only be paper ballots. As of right now, the state of California does not require a photo ID to vote.
