'Illegal at many levels': Trump's new move restricts voting rights without proper approval

President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order that sidesteps congressional approval process, in order to attempt to restrict voting rights, according to a report.

The order borrows heavily from the Republican-backed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, which appears likely to pass the House but faces an uncertain future in the Senate, but legal expects say the president doesn't have the authority to make those changes – which may conflict with federal voting laws, reported NPR.
