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?
