Donald Trump’s campaign strategist for his 2016 election win says: “I believe we will have a national emergency declared by late August,” ahead of the Congressional midterm elections due on November 3. “You will have enough evidence by mid-August to show that we have a massive problem” of election fraud, he tells me in an interview. Trump’s televised address to the nation on Thursday last week was the beginning of the process, he says.
The president declassified documents, which he claimed show “shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure” revealed by the 2020 election.
These had been hidden, even from him, by a “deep state” conspiracy of US intelligence services, he posited.
Trump demanded that the Congress pass a bill called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE, Act. The bill stipulates that all voters produce a passport or birth certificate to be eligible to vote. Democrats denounce it as an effort at mass disenfranchisement. The Brennan Centre for Justice at New York University estimates that it could block 21 million Americans from the ballot box.
Under the US Constitution, it’s the states, not the federal government, that run elections. The SAVE Act would force state governments to hand voter roll information to Washington.
Trump sent his Homeland Security Secretary, Markwayne Mullin, out the following morning to issue a threat to state officials: they could face prison time unless they followed the administration’s orders to remove non-citizens from rolls.
We have our IDs, but they want more than that, they want birth certificates becuase apparently, they all want passports, birth certificates which is really hard to get because not everyone still has their natural name. Social Security Cards are hard because the Social Security Administration is a pain in the ass to work with and sometimes they don’t have your information either.
To get a new SSN card, you’re going to need your parent’s SSN as well. Which is incredibly difficult because not every parent knows their SSN by heart or better yet, some people don’t even know where their parents are, some people don’t even have relationships with them anymore.
It’s literally such a hassle, the regular common Joe/Jane is not gonna do that, they’re going to ignore it becasue they don’t want to deal with the hassle because the regular common person in America is working hard and working a hard life at that.
