States already have some form of voter ID requirement in place. So Trump’s latest post is just political theater. He says he’ll issue an executive order requiring voter identification for all U.S. elections. On Truth Social he declared: “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO
States control their own elections
I don't think Maine requires ID.
There is a referendum in November - but- you first have to register, that is where you are required to show valid citizenship and residency. But, there aren’t any ‘hey somebody voted using my name’ issues, so it’s just crap to disenfranchise voters.
for registration, i presented id (and since it’s thru the dmv, with which i do real id verification, well…) i do mail in voting, and do not present id when i vote by mail this may be a way of trying to prohibit vote by mail
I thought states decide how they conduct elections
They do
I know… someone may want to remind politicians of that
This is theater with a purpose: to keep his base happy, to create opportunities to question the outcome, and to continue espousing the Big Lie that non citizens and dead people are somehow permitted to vote and such irregularity is the sole reason his allies lose elections.
EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!” We know Trump is still stuck on his 2020 loss, but election laws are controlled by the states, and an executive order on this has no real force. At the end of the day, it’s just a piece of paper with no real meaning.
EOs are not law. States can ignore them.
Which is why he’s working himself up to throwing a war, putting on a domestic terrorist event (that assassination theaters worked so well for him he loves it now) and calling out his domestic red dogs to start biting their blue neighbors. He will pull out every tactic to stay in power.
Remember these seditious MAGA Republicans who voted to overturn the election in 2020... Some Republicans accept the election outcomes in 2020 and congratulated Former Pres. Biden and VP Harris! Thank you, Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger for defending democracy and putting the country over party!
Fuck him
Sadly, that should be true for many of his EO's. EO are NOT law. However, the GOP sycophants won't push back on TACO's power over-reach. That's why we're in this nightmare $hitshow administration. 🤬
Yeah, no more cheating Republicans
It makes him feel like a king and big powerful boy with a sharpie. And distracts from the Epstein files and his failing cardiovascular system and kidneys.

We know that. But I'm guessing he's going to announce that votes from blue states no longer count if they don't meet his standards, and the media will go, "Um, gee, can he do that? Gosh, the constitution doesn't say."
That’s all most of his executive orders are, it’s just that people are stupid enough to think that he has all that power because they’ve never picked up or read the Constitution.
Controlled by states like North Carolina, whose Republican-majority legislature is trying to change the rules in their favor?
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.
I had a feeling there was more to it and they’re doing something sneaky again so I asked AI and yeah, this tracks.
AI not only lies but it gets things wrong. I'd not take it at facevalue.
Try critical thinking. Yours is the voice of privilege. What about those who can’t get or replace ID or vote in person due to cost, disability, lack of transportation, children to care for, jobs they can’t take time off from, etc.? That’s what AI saying.
not sure why you sent this to me. I understand all that I've lived quite a bit of it.
Learn how to follow a thread. You are claiming AI is wrong about voter ID. I was giving you FACTS about why it is right.
I never said it was wrong about voter ID. you're putting words in my mouth.
You were trying to say it in false even after the person said it tracks. Why criticize someone who did what you want?
I only made that one comment.
Exactly. That one comment that implied that we shouldn’t trust what the AI said about voter ID when, in fact, it was accurate.
Except in this case, it’s correct about what groups are disproportionately affected by voter restrictions.
So is any research paper done by actual people. Relying on AI for all your answers makes you dumb.
So provide us with research that proves it wrong. Even the extreme far right Heritage Foundation couldn’t find any need for voter ID.
That’s both a very uneducated response, and not what either I or the OP posited. It’s also a distraction from the real point about the new red lines that the GOP are trying to use legislate racism into law.
no it's not. it's been proven that using AI causes cognitive decline.
I keep finding some variation of “maybe” if overused. That’s true of any technology. The invention of books caused us to be dumber because we don’t memorize things any more. The invention of adding machines caused us to be dumber because most people don’t do complex math in their heads any more.

Look at the title “May be eroding”. Not proven.
The whiny cankles says what?
Sen. Tommy Tuberville wants to become the next Governor of Alabama but he couldn't name the branches of government correctly and knew nothing about World War II He said that his father "deployed to France to liberate Paris from socialism." But still Alabamians will vote for him!
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!
he is such a cry baby bitch. I have been asked for my drivers lic in every election since I was 18. He can fuck right off. He's only been voting for a very short time anyhow.
It tracks how the "freedom" party doesn't see this as anti freedom
We've had to show our driver's licenses since at least the first election of Obama.
He cannot do that
why did a little over half of capital hill vote against this?
If my home address is good enough for the military, VA, SSA, bank and property tax - it is in fact voter ID for a mail in Ballot. In addition to receiving correspondence from said agencies at that address. Now add my drivers license or ID card that lists said address - proof is proof is proof
I guarantee me the human- will be guilty of not paying my property tax or tax in general at said address and it will stand up in court when the county goes to lean and take my house. No ID needed to be fucked over by the tax man
Govt overreach strikes again
Remember when he said he had to show his license plate to vote??
🤣🤣
I have never voted without proof of who I am. Never.
It takes time and effort to go get a voter ID. Trump is counting on people not wanting to/able to give that time and effort which means less voters which always helps Republicans. It’s SO obvious! 🙄
When you register to vote, you give them your info. They already have your info when you go to the ballot box! All you need to do at the ballot box is show your drivers license/student ID to prove who you are.
Executive orders aren't worth the paper they're written on. That's the story.
Every state has ID requirements for registration. If you're registered you get a ballot. Easy
On the back of my State Issued ID card, that required PROOF OF IDENTITY AND CITIZENSHIP to be issued, says Not a Valid Form of ID for Employment and Voting purposes
He's not even writing those posts. That doesn't sound like verbiage he would use.
1st. WORDS of the US Constitution are "We the People"! These words begin the Preamble to the Constitution & emphasize the principle of popular sovereignty, meaning that the government derives its POWER from the consent of THE GOVERNED aka AMERICANS! 👉 Send THE FELON YOUR EXECUTIVE ORDERS NOW!
F*ck Felon47 and all his enablers.
It’s the most normal thing in most European countries. Why the fuss?
It’s called our constitution.
Also he doesn’t have the authority to issue executive orders for elections. Executive Orders can only cover the executive branch. Which is why so many are being challenged in court.
Successfully challenged.
Congress needs to wake up and explain the constitution to him.
It’s all so he can station ICE agents at Democratic polling stations to intimidate voters. Mark my words.
Why would illegal immigrants be voters?
Nevada governor signed legislation allowing weapons inside polling precincts
Isn't that the first state found to have manipulated the 2024 election? #ETA
There are independent investigation still happening. The Secty of State signed off on the election. My observation, this is the first election in my 30 yrs of being a NV voter where a presidential candidate carried both Washo and Clark counties yet lost the State.
😡
Well, the idiot does not know it is determined on state basis. But unfortunately no amendment of the constitution established a universal right to vote for all citizens. Soon, he will refer to the 15th amendment that says all male citizens have a right to vote and excludes women from 19th century.
In Colorado when you get your license at 18 or get your first CO license which iirc you need 2-3 forms of ID showing proof of residence you are automatically registered to vote. It's simple, it's 1 time, and our state has some of the highest election security confidence in the country.
Our only election fraud or issues have been once where a ballot box was forgotten to be grabbed, where Reps tried stuffing boxes because they "knew the dems were" and the very rare immigrant recieving one by mistake which afaik has been always resolved.
Additionallly, our ballots are mailed to us, our primaries are open to unaffiliated voters meaning you can choose which party to vote for representation (only can chose 1) and we can mail our ballots back or return them to a polling station or drop off boxes located in heavy foot traffic areas.
The one caveat I would say with the automatic voter registration in CO through Driver's Licenses is that one can choose to opt out of being registered if desired. But yeah, CO elections are awesome
They have the maggots so convinced people are out here voting illegally that it just reinforces a truth: they're so dumb and brainwashed they ignore the evidence of their OWN VOTING EXPERIENCE, where they're asked to show photo ID. And so is everyone around them. No un-ID'd folks are voting. FFS.
Hahaha my town is so small you are greeted by Name
He knows if the millions of liberals that didn't vote, vote, MAGA and Project 2025 are in trouble. So fix the vote any way they can.
I’ve had a voter registration card since I was 18. 🤷🏻♀️ I always take it and my license in.
Sorry but trump DOES NOT control any of the states when it comes to requirements for their citizens to vote!!
He wants to reissue IDs with the special NVWBOB stamp. *No Voting While Black or Brown*
First of all, he has no authority to tell the states how to run their elections. His stupid little EOs mean nothing when it comes to what the states decide to do.
this will be like you need a visa and passport to vote
Do I have to bring my license plate? 😂😂😂
Revenue generation on the American tax plantation and children are cash crops?
Every time I have voted in Virginia, and when I lived in Indiana, I not only had to have a picture ID, I had to have proof of address.
This is posturing to legitimize contesting election results and asking Johnson to not seat specific members of Congress. He isn’t smart enough to figure this out, but the people around him are.
Whoever wrote that for him is just pushing the cancellation of mail-in voting!
bingo
Trump’s executive orders have no legal authority. This one too. States have constitutional authority over elections. It’s just more meaningless bullshit.
That man and his cronies/sycophants are just fucking stupid.
TFG and his felt penned executive orders, so emboldened by SCOTUS, he thinks can do anything he wants….because he’s a wannabe king😒 Don’t forget his own words “I’m president and I can do whatever I want”🖕
Follow the example of Chicago's mayor. Every governor should sign an Executive Order banning a POTUS from interfering in their state's election process.
What are the bets he means that each vote needs to have ID attached to it, so he knows who voted for what? It's the only place left to go.
If they really wanted voters ID nationally, they'd issues every single citizen an ID. The issue isn't that we object to requiring ID, we object to the lack of availability & accessibility of the id being required. Every post office & SSA office should be able to provide the required ID.
And cost $$$
I already have to show ID this won’t change mych
… and it will immediately be challenged in court. Trump has destroyed the usefulness of the Executive Order. From here on out EO’s should just be immediately assigned to a RANDOM Federal Judge for review before they can take effect. Enough of this dictatorial nonsense.
Great minds think alike ... bsky.app/profile/imno...
His brain is mush. Remember when he said his greatest accomplishment was "not" catching syphilis during the Vietnam war? Everything he says is a lie.
Even if it isn't syphilis, he lost his "personal Vietnam" when he got herpes. NC: Yes. “Captain Valtrex” was another nickname for him. He sent his secretaries to the CVS on 57th Street to pick up his scripts for that herpes treatment. gregolear.substack.com/p/full-discl...

Most states, you must REGISTER to vote. Which requires an ID.
But trump had to show his LISCENCE PLATE. 🙄🙄🙄
His EO won’t mean crap.
Here's a message for Trumpty Dumpty You are a pedophile,murderer,chump,leah Fuck you and your wonk executive orders
It would be another illegal EO anyway. The Constitution leaves the management of elections to the States, and the President has no power to order changes to the process.
Trump’s idea of issuing executive orders is the exact same as Michael on The Office declaring bankruptcy
I was a poll worker last year. ID was required for EVERYONE. We did have to turn folks away for lack of it. And no one voted multiple times; if they were at the wrong precinct, they were directed to the right one. Not a single case of voter fraud. Not one.
Haha. He can’t do that. States decide how they run elections. The constitution’s a real bitch for you, isn’t it you fascist fuck. 🤣
Next he will claim he invented voting
Y'all I'm having a hard time watching all this corruption and gaslighting. I'm having a hard time containing myself inside my body. If there was a button I could push that would take out everyone who is doing this to our society I would push it.
Trump is a Russian Asset, says Portugal’s President !!! "The top leader of the world’s foremost superpower is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset,” Portugal's President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said. “He operates as an asset.” eutoday.net/the-presiden... #Trump #RussianAsset #MAGA

I had to take an inch thick folder of documents in AZ. US citizen-same address for 10 years and already a register Voter. Marriage license from 34 years ago, multiple utility bills & taxes for proof of address, birth certificate, etc. Waited in line for an hour. F him.
When you registered to vote or on the day you voted?
Registered and through AZ DMV. We vote by mail which is very common here.
