Trump announces voter ID for midterms whether | Political News

Donald Trump announced that he would discover a manner to incorporate a requirement for voter IDs in the upcoming midterm elections “whether approved by Congress or not” as he accused the Democrats of “cheat[ing]” in elections in the same breath.

“The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The motive could be very simple — They need to continue to cheat in Elections,” the president wrote on his Truth Social account on Friday night.

“This was not what our Founders desired. 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,” he continued. “There shall be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether permitted by Congress or not!”

He added that the American people, in his perception, are “insisting on Citizenship” and “No Mail-In Ballots” without offering proof, including that he believes exceptions needs to be allowed for those in the army, those with disabilities, those experiencing sickness or those who are touring.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP,” he signed the message.

In another prolonged rant, Trump continued to slam the Democrats, calling them “horrible, disingenuous CHEATERS” as he laid into a number of of their insurance policies, from voter IDs to trans rights.

“We cannot let the Democrats get away with NO VOTER I.D. any longer,” Trump wrote. “These are horrible, disingenuous CHEATERS. They have all sorts of reasons why it shouldn’t be passed, and then boldly laugh in the backrooms after their ridiculous presentations.”

“If it weren’t such a serious matter, it would be considered a TOTAL JOKE! No Voter I.D. is even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports, Open Borders, or Transgender for Everyone,” he continued. “Republicans must put this at the top of every speech — It is a CAN’T MISS FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE MIDTERMS, AND BEYOND!”

He went on to checklist statistics about Democratic voters, stating without citing a source that 85% of them agree that there needs to be voter ID, slamming the celebration’s leaders for being the “only” ones who do not imagine in the coverage, which is seen as racist and has prevented Black Americans and other minorities from voting in elections and exercising their civic rights.

“It’s only the Political ‘Leaders,’ Crooked Losers like Schumer and Jeffries, that have no shame, and explain why it’s ‘racist,’ and every other thing that they can think of,” Trump claimed, including, “This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW!”

The president went on to define methods he believes he can circumvent Congress and require voter IDs at polling locations, even if Congress does not cross a law requiring them — which Democrats aren’t doubtless to do.

“If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order,” Trump wrote.

“I hope the Supreme Court realizes, as they ‘painstakingly’ review the very simple topic of Country Saving Tariffs (Those same Tariffs that have been used, by other Countries, against the U.S.A. to drain it of its Treasure and Security — for many years!), and all sorts of other things, that are making our Country Rich, Powerful, and Safe Again, that these Corrupt and Deranged Democrats, if they ever gain power, will not only be adding two States to our roster of 50, with all of the baggage thereto, but will also PACK THE COURT with a total of 21 Supreme Court Justices, THEIR DREAM, which they will submit easily and rapidly when they immediately move to terminate the Filibuster, probably in their first week, or sooner,” Trump ranted.

“Our Country will never be the same if they allow these demented and evil people to knowingly, and happily, destroy it. Thank you for your attention to this matter — SAVE AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP,” he signed the message.

Republicans push SAVE America Act that would require Americans to show they’re residents to register to vote

House Republicans rushed to approve laws on Wednesday that would impose strict new proof-of-citizenship necessities forward of the midterm elections, a long shot Trump administration precedence that faces sharp blowback in the Senate.

The invoice, called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE America Act, would require Americans to show they’re residents when they register to vote, largely through a legitimate U.S. passport or beginning certificates. It would also require a legitimate photograph identification before voters can forged ballots, which some states already demand. It was permitted on a largely party-line vote, 218-213.

Republicans said the laws is needed to forestall voter fraud, but Democrats warn it’s going to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Americans by making it more durable to vote. Federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. residents, but there’s no requirement to present documentary proof. Experts said voter fraud is extraordinarily uncommon, and very few noncitizens ever slip through the cracks. Fewer than one in 10 Americans don’t have paperwork proving they’re residents.
