The Trump administration will leave Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) in the House, just days before the Senate was finally ready to move on her nomination as UN ambassador.

Democrats flipped a Republican seat in Pennsylvania’s state Senate, continuing their run of overperformances in special elections. James Malone, a mayor in the Lancaster County district that was vacated by Sen. Dave McCormick’s new chief of staff, narrowly beat a Republican county commissioner; the same district had voted for Donald Trump by 15 points last year.

President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order that would dramatically overhaul how federal elections are run, a move that follows years of exaggerated claims from Trump about mail ballots and noncitizen voting.

Trump signed an order that directs states to require proof of citizenship when individuals register to vote.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday strengthening the integrity of America’s elections, delivering on a key campaign promise.

Trump said that the executive order would “go a long way toward ending” election fraud in the country and that further actions from the administration would be forthcoming in the coming weeks.

It was only a matter of time before The Musk/Trump regime attacked the very election system that allowed them into power. The goal here is to disenfranchise as many people as possible, the Constitution be damned.

Before I get into the executive order itself, I understand this is blatantly unconstitutional. It violates federalism (states run elections) and separation of powers (Congress can still pass laws about elections and voting). Those pesky considerations matter very little to the architects of Project 2025 and possibly even enough members of the Extreme Court.

President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that will require proof of U.S. citizenship on election forms, in an aggressive push to catch and combat voter fraud, which is exceedingly rare but constantly cited by Mr. Trump as a reason he lost the 2020 election.

The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal argued on “Morning Joe” Monday that all U.S. voter registration laws should be eliminated.

Mystal argued that any American should only have to meet eligibility requirements, such as age, in order to cast a ballot during elections, suggesting that voter registration has a racist and anti-immigrant undertone. He stated that voting rights need to be expanded in order to help more Democrats vote.

Canada's newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap election, sending the country to the polls on 28 April.

The election comes as Canada faces a trade war with the US and calls from President Donald Trump for it to become the 51st American state, issues which are expected to be top of mind for voters.

It also comes nine days after Carney, a Liberal, was sworn in as Canada's prime minister following Justin Trudeau's resignation.

As the Trump administration intensifies its battle with elite universities, one Ivy League school is lawyering up with a Trump ally.

Romania’s top court has upheld a decision to ban presidential election frontrunner Călin Georgescu from standing in a rerun of the vote in May, sparking protest in Bucharest and leaving the country’s far-right parties four days to find a candidate.

Georgescu, an anti-EU, Moscow-friendly populist, surged from almost nowhere to win the first round of the country’s presidential election last year, but the result was annulled by Romania’s top court because of suspected Russian interference.
