President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order designed to streamline the process for registering to vote and purging voter rolls, the New York Times reports.
The order is the result of a joint effort by the Justice Department, the White House, the Congressional Budget Office, and the Office of Management and Budget.
The executive order was signed by Vice President Joe Biden in front of Trump in the Oval Office.
The Times calls it the "first major move by a sitting president to streamline the process for registering to vote and purging voter rolls."
