Trump's voter crackdown reaches college campuses

College campuses are already getting a taste of President Donald Trump’s effort to impose broad, new voting restrictions across the country.

While Trump’s push for a partisan elections bill faces several bottlenecks on Capitol Hill, his administration has spent months quietly chipping away at programs designed to boost turnout among a voting bloc Republicans say lean Democratic.

Colleges play a critical role in helping students vote in what is often their first chance to cast a ballot. But the Trump administration is barring colleges from using a federal program that employs low-income students to register voters and threatening to investigate schools if they use data from a nonpartisan student voting study to help boost turnout.

The Education Department has also warned colleges not to violate election laws — and told schools to limit who they share voter registration information with — even though there is no evidence of widespread fraud on campuses.

Asking for a nation.
