The order was announced on March 7, 2021, the 56th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday", an incident during the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches.[1]
The order faced criticism from some members of the Republican Party in the build-up to the 2024 United States presidential election.[2][3] Representative Claudia Tenney claimed that the order "requires our taxpayer-funded federal agencies to violate the Hatch Act and engage in illegal vote harvesting".[4]
