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."
It's also the culmination of a months-long effort by the White House, the Congressional Budget Office, and the Office of Management and Budget to figure out how to streamline the process for both those who want to register to vote and those who want to purge voter rolls.
Priorities USA, a Democratic PAC that spent $66 million on ads during the 2012 and 2016 elections, was one of the groups that signed on to the executive order.
