Trump just signed an exec order purporting to require a passport (or a few other docs) to register to vote. The president doesn't have the power to override a law passed by Congress. This is the SAVE Act but much worse. It is an illegal power grab that would block tens of millions from voting.

Only Congress has authority
That's a lot of voter suppression.
Also, I'm pretty sure MAGA are not the ones who do a lot of international travel, so I'm not sure the advantage?
It's 50%
Still...
In fact, he certainly does, because he's getting away with this stuff over and over again.
Hasn't that been one of #TratirotTchump's goals all along?

GOP “Save" act is an attack on women.
It’s men-only voting like way back when.
Birth name must match in this awful act.
Money can fix the issue. That’s a poll tax.
He lies about everything. When will people understand this?
Seriously?!?

To get a passport you have to use your birth certificate as proof of US citizenship. If you are married - your name will not match. And there starts the nightmare. Going through this right now.
We women are the majority. Why do you think they would pull this
Crawford is tied in WI. SUPREME COURT RACE. WHOM IS FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
This is a big big race.
Ohhhhh POST OFFICE… fishy. Aren’t they going to privatize the USPS?
Make it as hard as possible to vote?
Please don’t say “Passport”.
But for people born in the US? Birth certificates.
In Georgia, for example, under current law you can vote with an expired Georgia driver's license. Any other accepted form of ID must be current.
is that something we're expected to do now when we renew our DL?
had no idea
Entirely by design.
This is a rich v poor class war issue. How many people can afford $130 per person to vote? That will eliminate a whole mess of people who are in poverty
The dems aren't our friends mate, like you say, they bought too
So yes, at its core right v left is haves vs have nots
Just having the REAL ID license means you have already proven yourself to be a citizen.
In my state foreign nationals can get a valid REALID drivers license by presenting their foreign passport and proof of residency.
My family's ID is a drivers license that non citizens can get.

Not that this makes it ok.
IMO forcing people to pay for these documents in order to vote is the same as a poll tax.
Poll taxes are theoretically unconstitutional, if we still have a constitution any more...
