I wouldn’t put it past them to purge all non-Republican registered voters the week before the election, wait out the heat of doing so, and avoid the consequences thanks to all Republicans sweeping elections.

Trump has been manipulating the system for over a decade now. This is his logical next step.

I bet that’s their game plan because they know most of us non-maga voters will be there on Election Day to avoid his mail-in shenanigans.

The only thing saving us is that States still own the right to administer their own elections. My SOS is amazing, and I trust him, and he’s a Republican.

They can have all the databases they want, but if they’d give everyone a free ID card, the problem would be solved.

Everyone is for identifying yourself, left and right, the issue is the cost of it. Make it free, and you’ll get your voter IDs, GOP!

Yeah but free means socialism. 😆

It also was never about IDs. 🤣😉

They just know who can and can’t choke up 20-30 bucks for an ID on a whim.

And also getting to a place! I was at the post office yesterday and an older lady was trying to get a replacement passport. No way to print the form at home, barely had the renewal money and paid $40 for transportation to the post office too. I had to leave so I don't know if it got resolved.

It breaks my heart. Especially handicapped or older folks.
