Trump Launches Bold Plan to Restore Integrity to America’s Elections
President-elect Donald Trump has announced a sweeping plan to change the way U.S. elections are carried out.
“We’re gonna do things that have been really needed for a long time,” he said. “And we are gonna look at elections. We want to have paper ballots, one-day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship.”
The idea of voter ID, for example, is supported by a strong majority of Americans, yet Democrats act as though asking someone to prove they are who they say they are is akin to burning the Constitution.
And paper ballots? They are the gold standard in election integrity. Technology can be manipulated, but a piece of paper filled out in person? Good luck hacking that.
Trump has also taken aim at California’s recent decision to prohibit local governments from requiring voter ID at polling stations.
“In California they just passed a law that you’re not even allowed to ask a voter for voter ID. Think of that. If you ask a voter for their voter ID, you’ve committed a crime. We’re gonna get the whole country straightened out.”
You need an ID to drive, buy alcohol, or even get into a government building, but apparently, casting a vote in an election is the exception to every other rule in society. It’s almost as if Democrats don’t want us to know who’s voting—or how many times they’re voting.
