Current Events > Trump announces plan to change elections

(+) Yeah! (+)

President-elect Donald Trump has announced a sweeping plan to change the way U.S. elections are carried out.
"We need to get things straightened out in this country, including elections," he said, after accepting the "Patriot of the Year" award at a Long Island event organized by Fox Nation on Thursday. Trump, 78, accepted the award, designed to resemble the American flag, after a live performance of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" the president-elect's go-to entrance song.

"We're gonna do things that have been really needed for a long time," he said. "And we are gonna look at elections. We want to have paper ballots, one day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship."
He went on to denounce a recent law passed in California that prohibits local governments from requiring voters to present identification when casting their ballots at the polls. "In California they just passed a law that you're not even allowed to ask a voter for voter ID. Think of that. If you ask a voter for their voter ID, you've committed a crime. We're gonna get the whole country straightened out," he said.

"We have to get back in and we want to change it all. We want to go to paper ballots. We want to go to same-day voting. We want to go to citizenship papers, and we want to go to voter ID. It's very simple. We want to get rid of mail-in voting," he said.

I thought there werent going to be any more elections, why is he talking about making rules for them if there arent going to be any

Hey that's how Russia does their voting. Paper ballots are much easier to lose.

Or destroy.

So thing is, there is no mechanism for him to be able to do any of this. That being said, he will likely absolutely be allowed to do it.

So it begins

lets Make voting even harder

That works for them it's gonna make Dems not vote

So it begins

Early voting exists so people who have work can find a day or time they're off so they can vote. If you're eliminating that you'd damn well better mandate that voting day is a mandatory holiday. But I know he's not gonna do that.

Theres leftists and centrists that tried to tell us Kamala was just as bad as Trump and decided to stay home. Them along with Trump voters tried to act like he wouldnt attempt to destroy the democratic process.

I detest all of those people.

but people on this board insisted we where jut dooming
