Welcome to #InTheDugout with Mike Stenhouse! On March 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the Executive Order titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” This landmark action introduces a bold requirement: documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register for federal elections—a move with potentially sweeping national implications.
But what does this mean for us here in Rhode Island? Could this Executive Order—and maybe some pressure to stop Congress from dragging its feet—make Rhode Island a state where it’s easy to vote, but hard to cheat?
Joining Mike in the Dugout today are two special guests offering both national and local insights:
-
Sara Vieira, a Rhode Island advocate for election integrity
-
Ned Jones, a national expert
Tune in for an honest, eye-opening discussion about what’s at stake for our elections—right here in the Ocean State and across the country.
