There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not - Trump

[Swede]

Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

1. DJT, J.D.

"I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future."

Even by his standards, that is some grade triple-A bafflegab.

I guess he's adding clairvoyance to his many talents, since he's searching things not yet articulated.

What. A. Tool.

2. ha ha. Trump seaching the legal arguments. ha ha--

[Raven123]

3. No way Trump composed that

“Searched the depths of legal arguments not yet articulated or vetted” is not in his vocabulary.

8. That's what I thought

Nothing about that sentence says Trump wrote it. No random capitalizations, big words, no wrong words used.

4. I'd be willing to bet that trump does mail-in voting,

As do most members of Congress.

If he's talking about the SAVE Act, that's not happening.

12. Yes they DO. Just like they've all been

vaccinated up the YAZOO. RFknK Jr. too. They just SELL that anti-vaxxer sht to their moronic devotees.

5. Twenty or

so years ago, to renew my drivers license in the state o MO. I had to prove I was a US citizen. I had to get a copy of my birth certificate with a raised seal and I think I had to show my marriage certificate, I think. Of course I still have both. I think the governor at that time was Matt Blunt, son of Senator Roy Blunt. Thankfully Matt only served four years. Don’t think he cared for politics much.

6. FAWK, FAWK, FAWK YOU, YA MEALY MOUTH PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!

7. Another taco prediction by a yRump aid who sniffed too many of tRumps used depends. nt

[allegorical oracle]

9. Can't imagine there is a single U.S. state that doesn't require ID to vote. In Florida, it's a strict

matter of submitting documents from birth to current residency. When you get your ballot, your driver license is swiped on a gizmo that's connected to the state's Dept. of Motor Vehicles. The license photos must match or you don't vote.

Noem just whined about all the fraudulent voting, and Al Sharpton, on Deadline Whitehouse, made a good rebuttle. He pointed out:

a) the southern border is now closed, so new immigrants aren't "flooding" in to vote;
b) ICE is detaining and deporting immigrants by the hundreds who have been living here and some may have been legal voters who won't be voting again;
c) And even with all the alleged fraud, Trump, himself, brags that he won the 2024 election "by the largest margins in history".

So, who will be left to commit this rampant fraud that Noem predicts? (We all can guess the Repugs' answer.)

In January, a federal court issued a permanent injunction against Trump’s March, 2025 executive order that attempted to require documentary proof of citizenship on voter registration and limitations on mail-in ballots. In her opinion, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, articulated why the Founders entrusted administration of elections first with the states in the Constitution’s Election’s Clause.

“The Framers of our Constitution recognized that power over election rules could be abused, either to destroy the national government or to disempower the people from acting as a check on their elected representatives,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote. “Accordingly, they entrusted this power to the parts of our government that they believed would be most responsive to the will of the people: first to the States, and then, in some instances, to Congress.

The idea that immigrants are being brought into the United States to vote is a far-right conspiracy theory that has been repeatedly disproven. It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote, and those that do so intentionally are easily caught, prosecuted, imprisoned for years, and then deported, all for the chance to cast a single ballot out of hundreds of thousands. Consequently, noncitizen voting is exceptionally rare, as election officials and court findings across the country have persistently shown.

Similarly, mail-in ballots are popular across the country and have shown no evidence of being particularly susceptible to electoral fraud. The SAVE America Act would not limit mail-in ballots, but another bill recently introduced in the House, the Make Elections Great Again Act, would.

11. Because Trump is sooooo honest. I'm really sick of this guy

He has nothing to add to society. Nothing. Just a complete waste of 4 years of American history. Fuck all his voters. I'm glad to hear when bad things happen to them. I'm not even shy about it. They aren't good people. Not one of them.

13. The Constitution blocks presidents from changing election rules.
