Trump thinks he's going to slip a vote-suppressing Voter ID law through like Paul Ryan's tax cuts.

[Miles Archer]

He wants to keep the non-Trump voters home and shore up those electoral college votes.

If you've noticed, he's tweeting and turning around every interaction with the press into a statement about how we need voter identification.

I posted a thread yesterday in which he was asked about banning high-volume gun magazines and his answer was that we need Voter Identification.

Hopefully, everyone in Congress who is not on the Trump train is watching this, since it's in plain frigging sight, and will step on his little scheme.

Otherwise, it will be Republicans in the Rose Garden again, this time without Paul Ryan, crackin' open another couple of cases of Bud Lights and laughing their asses off.

1. not sure he has the time to do this

not sure he has the time to do this before 2020 anyway. But yeah they are going to keep pushing for it.

[Miles Archer]

3. That's my thought...he'll try to ram it through, but there isn't enough time

And why we know exactly why he wants to make it happen, he'll come up with every fake reason in the book to plead the urgency...such as his current claim that in order to "keep voters safe" from mass shootings, we need Voter Identification.

2. The Texas Democratic Party outside counsel sued and gutted the Texas voter ID law

There will be no federal voter ID law

4. I feel with Dems in control of the House that nothing of the sort will be passed conventionally

but that doesn't mean he won't try some extra-constitutional method. They spit and trample on our rules and laws with every waking moment.

6. Exactly

How he thinks that something like that would happen now is beyond me. And besides, it's largely supposed to be the states running elections.

9. I'm thinking unconventional

It's been a while since he declared a national emergency, right? And whatever he's plotting, it includes an end run around the House. Not saying he'd be successful. All I'm saying is keep an eye on him, because it's damned sure what he's thinking.

5. He's just vilifying Hispanics, and exciting his racist base. He won't get a national voter ID.

7. Have none of these crooks ever done voter registration? You have to prove who you are when you...

register by showing ID—driver's license or state ID card which shows your address. That info is filled in on the registration form and you get a tear-off from the bottom of the form as a receipt. You will be sent communications later.

10. I never had to show ID when I registered to vote

back when dinosaurs roamed the earth

[brush]

12. You do now. I did voter reg. for both Obama campaigns and Hillary's.

8. surly he has facts from his fraudulant voter commission to justify this opinion....

the same commission that disbanded in disgrace upon finding NOTHING

[Voltaire2]

11. Elections are run by states not by the fed.

So Hair Shitler is talking out his giant stinky ass.

13. they will hold election protection bills hostage for this.

if they cant get it on the floor, they will make sure they get it in committee.
twitler will refuse to sign anything that doesnt contain it.

and the red states will get redder.
