Trump said tonight he is going to issue an executive order purporting to require enforcement of voter ID rules: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u... The president has no such authority to order how elections are conducted.

We need to stop using the word "order" and start using the word "dictate" Trump to Dictate Nationwide Voter ID and Paper Ballots, Restrictions to Mail-in Voting

But that won't stop him from issuing a toothless EO anyway to rile up his ignorant MAGA base.

Who will disrupt the elections where the order isn’t followed expecting a pardon. In CO, they can join that official he’s trying to force the state to pardon.

Red states will all fall in line, and he will use the order to nullify blue state votes and mail in votes, and that is how he gets another 4 years (or his successor)

If only red states follow his orders, it will surprise democratic votes in this area helping republicans win close races. It doesn’t have to actually be enforced elsewhere to help.

An Executuve Order is a memo. That's it. it carries no more weight. it does not establish or change laws.

OK LISTEN—only LOSERS fear votes. Trump’s “VOTER ID, NO EXCEPTIONS” + kill mail is DUMB GUY POLICY. We want MAXIMUM VOTING™: 30 days, drive-thru, drop boxes, pizza tracking. Free IDs, no gatekeeping. Let Grandma vote from the couch. MORE VOTERS = STRONGER REPUBLIC!!! Believe me!

I know that the right likes to enforce voter ID laws to suppress votes of minorities, but in some Latin American countries, voting is mandatory and to prove your identity you must present your national ID card. The card is not free. It can cost about $30. What if USA had a national ID document?
aug 31, 2025, 4:38 am • 1 0 • view
And in those nations where voting is mandatory, there's a financial penalty for not voting. So you either put up with the cost of a national ID card and get to vote or you don't vote and get a fine.

Over the years, in cases where it passed, some elected officials have celebrated the quiet part out loud: "That'll cut down on democrat votes", or "That's going to cut down on black votes." Voter ID rules are intended to make it just that little bit harder to vote, and just enough, it works...

It's based on the Unclaimed Consumer Rebate Effect: "According to a 2013 report from Consumer Affairs, over $500 million in rebates go unclaimed every year. The Wall Street Journal states that about 40 percent of mail-in rebates are not redeemed or are filed incorrectly, which leads to a denial."

"Companies offer rebates instead of temporarily lowering a product's price because they know a certain percentage of buyers won't go to the bother of requesting the rebate. Some will file for it incorrectly, which will allow the company or manufacturer to reject their claim." - [PocketSense]

The Unclaimed Consumer Rebate Effect In some cases over 60 percent. 40 to 60 percent! of people's hard earned dollars unclaimed. It's why some state and U.S. representatives are ecstatic about Voter ID laws; it’s the perfect lose/lose scenario. A Zero-Sum Game; the defining goal of Republicans.

The problem here is not the blue states that will reject it outright but the red states that will accept it and conform to make the new restrictions happen. Basically they will insure as few Democratic Party candidates will get votes as possible.

Some red-controlled state houses will try to implement this. There will be litigation. More generally, he's setting up an excuse in case the GOP gets its ass handed to them in the midterms. FWIW, this dude can't string two sentences together when speaking; I'm skeptical that he writes these posts.
