Constitutionalists, what prevents Trump from issuing an EO mandating voter ID for federal elections?
I know voting is typically left up to states to take care of, and some folks will cry “muh states’ rights” but how would this EO differ from mandating buying health insurance, banning flavored cigarettes, etc?
Long term, what disadvantage would there be to any political candidate if federal voter ID is required? I need an SSN/ID to pay taxes, why not treat voting with the same verification? Why the disdain from the left on requiring ID to vote?
Let's dop the same thing they do to gun owners:
Run every single name thru NICS and fingerprint so we are sure they arent a felon
quite a few countries have voters fingerprints on ballot papers
with current tech, this would be much easier and faster to verify ballots than signatures.
Good one
I am game for biometric evidence to ensure voter eligibility
I've been wondering this myself as well.
