Be careful what you wish for, Republicans. If Trump can issue orders to benefit his party in federal elections, the next Democrat in the White House can do the same.
Spoilers, POTUS can’t, only Congress has that power.
That said, the SAVE act would hurt the elderly and rural voters who favor the GOP, so this might bite them in the butt if it were ever to become law.
Cis Married Women, Trans Women, & Trans Men which include people of color who have a differing name from what is on their birth certificate will not be able to vote. That or obtain a passport with the same name that is on your identification aka drivers license. States have made it impossible to get name and gender marker changes on birth certificates or mandate costly surgeries to do so. Also the federal government under Trump has gotten rid of the ability to have a passport that aligns with one’s gender but instead reverts to said gender assigned at birth. It’s a poll tax, and makes it impossible to some and very tedious, and costly to others.
In reality it’s only purpose is to get people to not show up because the ability to vote is a burden given the hoops they are wanting to inflict on those they deem subhuman, or their property given to them by God.
Neither. Is an okay idea, but federal election officials having the ability to audit States voter roles would be preferable and way more efficient under current standings Federal voting officials do not have the authority to audit a state.
And it is not an overreach The Constitution is perfectly clear on it.
Where was your anger when Biden and the Autopen controllers were scrutinizing people’s lives phone records and tax returns to identify non-democrat voters for targeting?
It was right here. Just because you don't remember it doesn't mean that I wasn't saying that it was wrong and a bad precedent. I'm not sorry that I burst your assumption
Dont think you've even said that. At least not here. SID, you were defending Biden's mental capacity up until Democrats abandoned him at the president.
Of course, since you personally can't remember it, it *must* not have happened. 🙄
For the record, Joe Biden's biggest asset was that he was NOT Donald Trump. Democrats completely screwed up in advancing his candidacy and covering up what was clearly declining capacity. So between the in aptitude of the two parties, I've never been prouder to be an independent.
National: It can say something like US Citizen, over 18, not incarcerated, mentally capable, valid ID...
Mental competency would be judged by a doctor. A lot like a murder trial. Everyone is generally competent and starts there. You don't get tested or anything. ...but if you are flagged for some reason by law enforcement, medical professionals or someone like that... You have to be screened before you can vote, or drive, or be near children... Let's be honest, most of these people are going to be in a facility already.
Its not an overreach,
Section 4 Congress
Clause 1 Elections Clause
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Donald's lawyers already drafting a trust to place the USA in his family's inheritance. Sadly, they won't benefit of any "step-up in basis" as the father is actively and drastically dilapidating the overall value of this nation... That's going to be a cliff-down in basis for sure, if not abysmal.
Are you saying that only allowing legal U.S. citizens to vote will somehow get trump (or his family) perpetually re-elrcted? I think more the opposite.
The fact that we have to do that is a sad commentary on our current situation. Before the politically-motivated allowing of hundreds of thousands of foreign citizens to flood into the U.S. unchecked, and the subsequent steadfast refusal to allow any to be sent back, this wasn't necessary.
Not necessary at all, unless you live in Trump's La-La-Land. While all elections have their cheaters, and no system is entirely secure, the factual numbers demonstrate illegal immigrant voting is extremely rare and negligible compared to any amount necessary to actually change outcomes.
If the government has you on a voter list or register they can also track your vote. Tracking your vote can also mean they can decide to remove you or manipulate your vote. Which eventually means one party rule.
I'm all in favor of election integrity, but I don't see how a national voter registry advances that goal.
Also, I dislike it because it gives the popular vote crazies a pathway to implementation. At the moment, a nationwide popular vote is a non-starter because it's not feasible under our current system.
People really need to stop and think about how laws can be used against them when the other guys inevitably take power.
Sadly I think this is partly true — “People really need to stop and think about how laws can be used against them when the other guys inevitably take power.”
As were likely headed into an era of tit for tat weaponization of policies in the name of balancing things out. Hopefully not but I think it’s likely.
My main b*tch is with voting by mail. Anybody besides the intended recipient can theoretically fill out a mailed ballot, and there is absolutely no way to prove fraud.
I would be willing to make Election Day a national holiday and allow in-person early voting - in exchange for nationwide voter ID, a ban on mail-in voting, and a ban on late ballots being counted.
Hmmm - well - Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett will be seeing this topic cross their desks 🤔watch how they decide for our Constitutional Rights, or for DJT/MAGA desires to have a Fascist nation.
