VOTER ID is something has to be put in place now — he had 4 yrs and should have done just that... No one here is surprised that the Democrats LIE and CHEAT — that’s what they so — like a scorpion saved from a flood by the fox, he will sting and kill them both... They are that stupid and crazy.... All year we’ve seen the Democrats act childish and irresponsible all the while pointing the fingers at those they don’t like... they are worst than 3rd graders on the playground...


You forget that even though this is a General Election where the President is elected, per the US Constitution each state is responsible for deciding how people vote. THis means that Voter ID laws are in the hands of the states and not the Federal Government. Which means Trump nor Congress can make a law requiring voter identification. So there is no way that Trump in 4-years could have done this.

Second, if a Voter ID law could be passed by the Federal Government to supercede the State Governments, it would have to be done in Congress. An EO could be overturned by the President 46. The issue with the Republican Speaker of the House in the lower chamber of Congress messed up a lot of things that could have been done while the Repubes held the House.

You placing the onus of Voter ID on the President, the Executive Branch not the Legislative Branch, shows how much of Civics that you have learned. Now you are going to accuse me of not backing Voter ID and you would be wrong. I had to show my DL when I voted yesterday and gladly did so.

no - not at all ... your points are taken ... per civics, yes - that’s how that works — My point is that Trump should have worked on that with the legal parties responsible for it - campaigned for it and his supporters holding accountable the state representatives to make sure that would be passed and implemented... so, therefore, Trump could have pressed - informed - or whatever to see it was accomplished... it’s how politics works... AND WHERE IN THE HELL DID I SAY TRUMP SHOULD DO AN EO ???? YES, I was very general in my statement - but I’ve just clarified it... It’s what party leaders do — they get the ones that can get it done - be it governors, state legislators, etc — it’s been that way in this nation since the beginning.... thanks for the civics write up ... but everything you said I said - I did not. You just took it wrong.

Many of the states ID Laws have been dictated by the judicial not the legislative.
