Summary

Donald Trump announced plans to reform U.S. elections, including mandating paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship, while eliminating mail-in voting.

Trump criticized California’s ban on requiring voter ID, calling for a nationwide overhaul. Though mail-in and early voting surged during the pandemic, Trump has long opposed these methods, claiming fraud, despite evidence showing fraud rates are extremely low.

Critics argue his proposals could disproportionately affect rural, disabled, and nonwhite voters, potentially disenfranchising key Democratic-leaning groups.

The reforms would mark significant shifts in U.S. election policies.

    Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like a bad idea to do something that disenfranchises people at the moment.

      No, no, by all means push more people to their breaking point. They’ve long done the “fuck around” part and I would love to be around to witness the “and find out” part.

      Except that some people walk around with a security detail that everyone else paid for.

      Yeah it’s pretty funny cause these ghouls know only how to do one thing.

      I feel like the next four years will have the energy of:

      “The austerity will continue until moral and ceo shootings improve”.

      Good luck with that.
