House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), alongside former President Donald Trump, announced the introduction of legislation aimed at tightening the requirements for voter registration in federal elections.
Speaker Johnson traveled to Florida on Friday for a crucial meeting with the one individual capable of saving his leadership position, former President Donald Trump. The meeting comes after he approved of warrantless spying on American citizens, jeopardizing the Fourth Amendment right.
Laura Loomer wrote earlier, “President Trump needs to cancel his meeting at Mar a Lago with Speaker Johnson. He just broke a tied vote and voted in favor of not requiring a warrant for the government to spy on Americans. Donald Trump said Kill FISA. Mike Johnson just helped Joe Biden have an easier time spying on President Trump’s 2024 campaign and paved the way for increased mass surveillance of Americans. He’s trying to sabotage Trump!”
In an attempt to save his career, Speaker Johnson emphasized the critical importance of upholding election integrity, citing concerns over non-citizens influencing election outcomes due to the “open border catastrophe.”
“States are currently prohibited from asking someone to prove they’re a citizen,” Speaker Johnson said.
He highlighted the ease with which individuals can register to vote while applying for a driver’s license under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, commonly known as the “motor voter law.”
“If an individual only asserts or simply states that they are a citizen, they don’t have to prove it. They can register that person to vote in a federal election. You see, states are currently prohibited,” Johnson said.
“Believe it or not, the states are prohibited from asking someone to prove that they’re a citizen. The federal voter registration form just has a check-up box. If you do that, you’re good. The states can’t allow it. We think that’s a serious problem.”
“We only want US citizens to vote in US elections. But there are some Democrats who don’t want to do that. We believe that one of their designs, one of the reasons for this open border, which everybody ask all around the country, why would they do this?”

50 years too late.
I believe that to be Constitutional as well.
What about warrants for spying?
Until Johnson blanks us over, again.
Since the Dung Beetle Party turd rollers say that their illegal aliens aren’t voting this shouldn’t bother the RATS all that much. Right?
"You get voting that will be harder to cheat on (but we still will do it) and we will keep the ability to spy on you which, humorously, will make it easier to cheat on the voting AND keep the people in power to control you."
Unfortunately it is just BS talk. It will never get passed in this congress with this president.
I am personally getting real tired of the BS they try to sell us. It insults the intelligence that they even try.
But Trump appearing to embrace this ‘loan’ to Ukraine notion pushed by Speaker Johnson.
The scheme will involve used of seized Russian assets here in the USA.

A bill which has zero probability of passing the House, the Senate, or the White House.
Exactly
The sticky wicket, however, is that those invaders still count in the census count, which allows representation in the House of Representatives AND in the Electoral College.
Denying them a POTUS vote is just the beginning!
If Johnson seriously wanted to fix this problem, he would grow a spine and shut down the government until the problem gets fixed. He hasn’t. Talk is cheap and deeds are precious.
Well, that’ll never become law under p(resident) Briben.
This is a cover for his repeal of the 4th Amendment. It won’t pass. He is a pure scumbag.
Has he counted the votes?
Clearly not his idea. Nice hostage viseo though. Does he not get this is what he SHOULD be doing? Laying out a Republican agenda, not moving heaven and earth to pass Democrat priorities?McCarthy was better.
Maybe they’re about to roll out rape gangs from his past ala Kavanaugh?
