Trump says he will require voter ID with executive order

President Donald Trump says he plans to sign an executive order aimed at requiring voter I.D. in elections across the country.

Trump made the statement on social media late Saturday night, saying he is also seeking other reforms to how U.S. elections take place.

"Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.


If you have a problem with this, then you are ADMITTING that DemoNazis cannot win elections legally and must rely on voter fraud.

I've got NO PROBLEM with the theory of voter ID, as long as it's free and easy. I DO have a problem with the practice of making it differentially harder for the elderly & working poor. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/challenge-obtaining-voter-identification

"Voter ID laws have been estimated by the U.S. Government Accountability Office to reduce voter turnout by 2-3 percentage points, translating to tens of thousands of votes lost in a single state." https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/block-the-vote-voter-suppression-in-2020/

Alabama is a case in point. A state shouldn't be allowed to do what Alabama did, passing voter ID laws and then closing ID issuing offices in predominantly poor or black counties.

Get it done now so that all the lib district judge rulings against it can be overturned in the appeals process prior to the elections. It is the law here in Texas.

or it could be a problem because the Supreme Court told the state of PA that requiring a photo ID disenfranchises people with no birth certificate, two proofs of residency and and a social security card.

now personally I think that argument might have made more sense in 1925 but you can't get a checking acount without pretty much the same kind of ID.

Seems like the framers of the constitution wanted the Supreme Court to determine what is constitutional or not.

As it should be! People are only too happy to produce ID when they want booze, cigarettes, or welfare. It should have always been a requirement to vote.

In reality illegal immigrants don't actually vote because they don't want the government to know where they are. The only people who this will effect are the ones who won't be able to get the "Proper Voter ID" In time to vote. Paper Ballots, nothing like a step backwards. Who determines who is ill enough to vote by Mail? What's next? Poll Tax? Poll tests? Sound like Jim Crow to me. I know people will probably insult me for my post. That's only because they have no facts to back their arguments. And please don't cite Faux News 😂

Do not not need ID in Australia to vote - but a very good idea

Don't care anymore for the last 30 years I gave up caring on what the USA does. Its just a smoke screen to distract people from what really is going on behind the scenes.

This is why I stopped voting and caring

A hack lib judge will overturn it of course. Then the battle begins. Godspeed Mr. President
How will the Freedom crowd take that?

@AdmiralPrune It's to protect freedom, so all the citizens will take it well. Not sure about the illegals.
@AdmiralPrune all Americans will be divided on whether illegal orders are legal!
An illegal order that conservative and moderate Americans will be sort of following? Yup.

@Reason10 Junior highish behavior of spoiled brats.

@TexChik Pretty much.
@Reason10 Just out of curiosity, what evidence is there of the rate of actual voter fraud such as would be caught by stricter voter ID laws? Oh, wait, I looked for you:
... reviewed allegations of fraud dating back to 2000. He identified 31 credible instances of impersonation fraud from 2000 to 2014, out of more than 1 billion ballots cast over that period.

Another report:
The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud, and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent. Thus, the report found, it is more likely an American “will be struck by lightning than that he will impersonate another voter at the polls.”

The GAO estimate says current voter ID laws reduce turnout by 2 or 3% per election. Let's take the lower number, 2%. That means that in the 2020 election, current voter ID laws deprived over 3 million people of their vote. In short, your voter ID laws do far more harm than good.

Bottom line, President Trump's executive order (assuming no far left Nazi court overturns it) will guarantee fair and legal elections.

That, plus the illegal aliens being deported, is not good news for the DemoNazis.
