(WLUK) -- Proposed changes to absentee voting could affect future U.S. elections as a result of an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in ballots.

States may soon be required to submit eligible voter lists to the United States Postal Service. Under Trump's directive, if states fail to provide a list containing every voter set to receive a mail-in ballot, USPS could deny the delivery of the ballots.

"The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It's horrible what's going on, and it's very clearly covered -- very, very clearly -- so I think this will help a lot with elections," Trump said.

He said his goal is to stop voter fraud during mail-in voting, despite a lack of evidence proving any fraud is occurring.

In a statement to CNN, the White House said the "entire Trump administration will continue lawfully enacting the agenda President Trump was elected to enact -- which includes the safety and security of American elections."

These proposed changes are drawing criticism from members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

"My biggest concern is, it appears to allow the federal government, through the post office, to prevent or veto the use of absentee voting by mail, which is extremely popular -- not only in Wisconsin, but across the nation," Wisconsin Elections Commissioner Ann Jacobs said.

Jacobs said it's not necessary for USPS to have this information and only municipal clerks and voters should be involved. She is concerned the directive will give too much data and control of absentee ballots to the federal government.

"Our Constitution said the mail delivers to everybody -- not the mail delivers to the people that the federal government has decided are worthy to get a ballot," Jacobs said.
