00:00The President is going to talk about that at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
00:02The Press Okay, thank you for taking my question.
00:06I wanted to first and foremost thank the administration for the election integrity executive order
00:11because so many journalists for four years were banned from talking about this very subject.
00:15So thank you to the administration for that.
00:18My question is, yesterday, President Trump, when signing the order, said that there is
00:21more to come when it comes to election integrity.
00:24Would that include same-day voting and hand-counted paper ballots?
00:29And why are Democrats so against election integrity measures like, obviously, approval
00:35of citizenship when it comes to voting in a United States election?
00:38Ms. McEnany Well, it's a very good question.
00:40You'll have to ask the Democrats why they're against so many common-sense things, not just
00:43mandating voter ID.
00:45Why are they against men and women's sports?
00:46Why are they against deporting foreign terrorists from American soil who have been designated
00:52a foreign terrorist organization?
00:53I'm referring to Tren de Aragua.
00:55As for the election integrity executive order that the President signed yesterday, this
00:59is in an effort to restore trust in American elections.
01:02There were more than 10 steps taken, 10 executive actions taken throughout this one order.
01:07It directs the Department – or the Attorney General, rather, in Homeland Security to prevent
01:11non-citizens from any involvement in administering elections.
01:15There's also another host of actions.
01:16We can provide the fact sheet for you.
01:18But it's a very strong election integrity executive order, and the President would also
01:22like to see Congress do something about this very important issue.
