Attorney General Pam Bondi is tasked with leading investigations into any officials or individuals who might try to circumvent the order.The piece presents these measures as fulfilling a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-could-happen-to-dcs-federal-workforce-under-trump\/\" title=\"What could happen to DC&#039;s federal workforce under ...\">long-standing campaign promise<\/a> to secure elections and improve the openness and reliability of mail-in ballots.

that looks to address one of Trump&rsquo;s longstanding campaign promises to straighten out American elections.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The right to vote in Federal elections is reserved exclusively for citizens of the United States under the Constitution and Federal law,&rdquo;
