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. Reporting by ProPublica frames the measure as part of a broader administration effort to restrict voting access. Critics say it would cut off support for voters who rely on assistance, while supporters argue federal funds should not underwrite registration activity.
Why now: The proposed rule has just been reported and touches the politically charged fight over voting access ahead of upcoming elections.
