The president of the United States, Donald Trump, signed a executive order this Tuesday (25) that he said aimed at Elections security in the country.
The order would include a Question about citizenship in the federal voting form And it would cut funding to states that “do not take reasonable measures to guarantee their election,” White House team secretary Will Scharf told the president before signing.
“Electoral fraud – you’ve heard the term,” Trump said as he signed the order. “Let’s end this, I hope. It will help a lot to end it.” He added.
Trump also said the government plans to take additional measures in the coming weeks to end electoral fraud.
“Maybe some people think I should not complain because we overcome overwhelmingly, but we have to straighten our election. This country is so sick because of the election – the false elections, the bad elections. We will straighten it in one way or another,” said the US president.
Decree uses Brazil as an example
In the text of the executive action, published by the White House, the US used the Brazil as an example of a country used Successful electoral protections.
“Despite the pioneering self -government, the United States now fails to impose basic and necessary electoral protections employed by modern and developed nations, as well as those still under development. India and Brazil for example, they are linking the voter identification to a biometric database while the United States depend widely on self -certification for citizenship “The text states.
The decree still cites models from other countries such as Germany, Canada, Denmark and Sweden to compare other aspects of the US vote.
“In the tab of votes, Germany and Canada require the use of paper banknotes, told in public by local authorities, which substantially reduces the number of disputes Compared to the American patchwork quilt of voting methods that can lead to basic custody chain problems, ”he says.
“In addition, as countries like Denmark and Sweden Limit the vote by mail For those who cannot vote in person and do not count the votes that come late, regardless of the date of the postal stamp, many US elections now have mass vote by mail, with many authorities Accepting banknotes without postal stamp or those received well after election day “He adds.
