Indiana Republicans are advancing a ban on using student IDs for voting. The move would make it even harder for young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout. https://boltsmag.org/indiana-banning-student-id-for-voting/

They *must* ban everyone their policies will hurt from voting, or they cannot win. You must ask yourself what they have planned for women, since they're trying to disenfranchise us.
So why doesn’t Congress just pass a law that only white straight Christian Republicans are allowed to vote? Just get it over with already! That’s where they’re going with this anyway… 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Young people are “potentially the most conservative generation that we’ve experienced maybe in 50 to 60 years,” Democratic consultant David Shor told Ezra Klein of The New York Times last month.
And you yell as loud as you can that there’s rampant cheating going on from the other side. You create your own cabal of misinformation media channels that repeat your lies to lull the masses into a cult mindset. You create your own truth that maintains your power. GOP is the party of fascism.
Instead of embracing a potential voting demographic, they are shunning them. Once more proving how bankrupt of vision they are.
Bringing me back to the phrase children often use 'Fraydy Cat', which is absolutely fitting.
The whole limit voting movement seems like a relic for the GOP. Seems like something that won't be helping them going forward: it's morally wrong but have at it.
That's a chickenshit political party. I've always thought it more the "American way" to win elections with better ideas conveyed honestly, not by keeping political opponents from voting. But I guess I'm naive. Now it's just about power, legitimacy be damned.
It's probably too late, but if you guys don't storm that place and drag him out kicking and screaming you're done for. No one's gonna come and fix it for you.
Now is the time to plan for procuring identification for voting. Please reach out & assist others in getting identification. There are 18months before midterms in November 2026. That’s sufficient time for some people to acquire identification.There are 42 months before 2028 presidential election.
Are all of the college students who may or may not be going to college in Indiana in 18 or 42 months going to have not only whatever our government decides through the SAVE Act qualifies as ID but proof they moved to Indiana in the right time frame, if IN decides that even qualifies?

Losers cheat.

If you don't allow voting, you lose your reps. Stop being ignorant. Even Mississippi is smarter than that.
Guess who else doesn’t get healthier, wealthier, and wiser under King Trump?🤴
And they’re seeing firsthand what radicalized ignorance can do. 😵💫
If the GOP thought they could win just on their current policies, they would not need to suppress votes from every angle.
