Maine’s secretary of state is speaking out against a proposal to change how people vote in the U.S. This comes after an executive order by President Donald Trump to improve election security. The executive order requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in elections and mandates that all ballots be received by Election Day across the country.

Shenna Bellows says, "The policies proposed in the Executive Order would make it harder to vote for women, military and overseas voters and rural citizens."

Trump has threatened to pull federal funding from states that don't comply with his executive order to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote and require that absentee ballots be returned by Election Day to be counted.
