President Donald Trump has taken action to implement new policies to shut down mail-in voting fraud, and Democrats have wasted no time in announcing efforts to oppose it.Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that directs the secretary of Homeland Security, with the aid of the Social Security Administration, to compile a list of U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote.'The American people sent him back to the White House because they overwhelmingly supported his commonsense election integrity agenda.' The order further asks the U.S. Postal Service to adjust its rules and send ballots only to people on the voter list for each state and that all mail-in ballots be sent in secure envelopes that include a unique tracking barcode.Each state will receive a list of the eligible voters no fewer than 60 days prior to each regularly scheduled federal election. The order also directs the U.S. attorney general to prioritize investigating and possibly prosecuting anyone — including state and local officials, public and private entities, and individuals — involved in sending ballots to ineligible voters.Democrats immediately accused the president of infringing on Americans' right to vote with the order as well as the right of states to run their elections."This is another desperate, illegal power grab that shows a total lack of respect for the American people and our Constitution," read a statement from Oregon State Secretary Tobias Read."The Constitution is clear: states run elections. Oregon’s gold standard vote-by-mail elections are secure, fair, and accurate," he added. "We don’t need decrees from Washington, D.C. My message to the president: We’ll see you in court.""This Executive Order is a disgusting overreach from the federal government and shows how little the Trump administration understands about election administration," said Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D). Fontes likewise pledged to take Trump to court over the EO.White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson released a statement to the Daily Caller about the order."Election integrity has always been a top priority for President Trump, and the American people sent him back to the White House because they overwhelmingly supported his commonsense election integrity agenda," she said.Congress is currently debating the SAVE Act, also called the SAVE America Act, which would require voters to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Democrats have promised to vehemently oppose the bill's passage."The president will do everything in his power to defend the safety and security of American elections and to ensure that only American citizens are voting in them," Jackson added. "Congress should also expeditiously pass President Trump’s SAVE America Act to protect elections for generations to come."RELATED: 'Dead on arrival': Chuck Schumer says Dems will 'go all out' to defeat voter ID bill The president has threatened to veto any other bill the Congress passes until the SAVE Act is passed."It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else," he wrote on social media earlier this month.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

In a nearly unanimous decision, the Supreme Court has issued a ruling on one state's ban on conversion therapy for minors, resulting in an important First Amendment win and setting a possible precedent for many states with similar laws on the books. In an 8-1 decision released Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled in Chiles v. Salazar that, when applied to talk therapy, Colorado's ban on minor-directed conversion therapy — or any therapy that attempts to "change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity" — "regulates speech based on viewpoint" in violation of the First Amendment.'The First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country.'The Colorado law, passed in 2019, was adopted "in response to a growing mental health crisis among Colorado teenagers and mounting evidence that conversion therapy is associated with increased depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts." The law thus prohibited licensed counselors from engaging in "conversion therapy" with minors, according to the opinion. Kaley Chiles, a mental health counselor in Colorado, brought the suit against Patty Salazar, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies.RELATED: SCOTUS sides with officer over protester in qualified immunity case, reversing lower-court opinion Maxine Wallace/The Washington Post/Getty ImagesThe ruling overturns a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, which ruled in favor of the law, not finding any violation of Chiles' First Amendment rights.However, the majority opinion, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, concluded:In cases like this, it censors speech based on viewpoint. Colorado may regard its policy as essential to public health and safety. Certainly, censorious governments throughout history have believed the same. But the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country. It reflects instead a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth.Gorsuch added that the law in question not only regulates the content of Chiles' speech, but "goes a step further, prescribing what views she may and may not express." Justice Elena Kagan, together with fellow liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined the majority opinion, but wrote a concurring opinion "only to note that if Colorado had instead enacted a content-based but viewpoint-neutral law, it would raise a different and more difficult question."Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson alone dissented from the majority: "Stated simply, the majority has failed to appreciate the crucial context in which Chiles's constitutional claims have arisen. Chiles is not speaking in the ether; she is providing therapy to minors as a licensed healthcare professional." While these facts were clearly established in the syllabus and the body of the majority's opinion, Jackson's primary contention, stated at the end of her dissent, was that "the majority's holding means, in effect, that just because Chiles is a talk therapist — and not, say, a surgeon — a State can be prevented from incidentally imposing reasonable restrictions on the treatments she provides." "To do anything else opens a dangerous can of worms," Jackson concluded. "It threatens to impair States' ability to regulate the provision of medical care in any respect." Matt Walsh, noted for his documentary "What is a Woman?," weighed in on the decision, attacking Jackson's attempt to uphold the ban: To be clear, this was a law that attempted to ban therapists from telling gender confused boys that they're actually boys, and girls that they're actually girls. It was literally a law prohibiting anyone in the therapy profession from verbally acknowledging biological reality to their clients. Easily one of the most psychotic pieces of legislation ever passed anywhere in the world at any time in history. The fact that Ketanji Jackson tried to uphold this law — even as her fellow liberals broke ranks with her — just proves again that she is the most unfit, unqualified, unhinged lunatic to ever hold a seat on the Supreme Court.Colorado is one of more than 20 states with laws prohibiting conversion therapy.
