Local election officials reel over ‘logistical nightmare’ of Trump’s vote-by-mail order

Election officials nationwide are grappling with the unexpected complications stemming from President Trump's executive order that restricts mail-in voting, potentially disrupting their election preparations. This directive could force postal workers to reject ballots from states lacking voter lists or failing to meet other criteria, complicating the already intricate process of vote-by-mail. This move has raised concerns about voter access and the logistical hurdles it may create for both officials and voters alike, especially as midterm elections loom. The implications could impact voter turnout and the overall fairness of the electoral process.
