Vermont leaders are responding after President Donald Trump issued a new executive order with amendments to the U.S. election system on Tuesday. The order, "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections," among other sweeping changes, requires voters to prove they are citizens to participate in U.S. elections and mandates that only ballots received by election day will be counted. Vermont's Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas said in order to prove citizenship, voters must visit their city or town clerk's office in person and bring a valid passport or birth certificate for verification. However, she said she's concerned about whether people who work or live in rural communities will have the time to complete this process. "People who have lived in Vermont all their lives and have participated in elections will be removed from voter registration list unless they can go in person with their proof of citizenship documentation," Copeland Hanzas said. The order also states that if your last name is currently different from the one on your birth certificate, you'll need documentation, such as a marriage license, to explain why. “They’re going to have to show those certified government documents that say, I was married on this date, or I was divorced on this date or remarried," Copeland Hanzas said. "All of those pieces of documentation are going to be the burden of the voter to produce and then the burden of the town or city clerk to inspect and verify.”Trump said the order is aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections. The order said in part: "Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election."As per the order, states that do not comply with the changes could face repercussions such as a loss of federal funding.Yet, Vermont Attorney General Charity Clark said she's not concerned the amendments won't hold up. “I think it’s unconstitutional," Clark said. "So, I’m not worried that it’s going to have repercussions because I don’t think it’s going to stick.” Clark said Vermont has already signed onto seven lawsuits against Trump's executive orders and 14 amicus briefs. While Clark didn't address a lawsuit regarding the latest order, she added that she was prepared to continue to fight for Vermonters. “We’re going to do what we can to protect our sacred right to vote," she said. NBC5 contacted the Vermont GOP for a response to this story, but has not heard back at this time.
