The president will be hard pressed to come up with a work around for the Constitution on this one. President Donald Trump declared his intent to sign a new executive order – this time, on voter ID. Polls show it’s a popular idea, sure, but popular doesn’t equal constitutional. And while one could argue that any order a president signs is something like functionally legal until a court rules otherwise, this one seems like a stretch.Trump Loves Voter ID, and So Do Americans“Voter I.D.

He also wants to restrict mail-in voting and allow only paper ballots. The Constitution doesn’t give the president explicit authority over election law.President Trump said late Saturday that he would issue an executive order to require voter identification for all U.S. elections, a continuation of his efforts to overhaul the nation’s election laws, which he has long attacked and falsely blamed for his 2020 election loss.In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said, “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!” He did not provide further...

US President Donald Trump says he will issue an executive order to require voter identification from every voter. “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!” Trump says on Truth Social. “Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military,” he adds.

The View’s Sunny Hostin makes it too easy. There’s nothing to say except to let her talk because she’s grade-A crazy and hilariously wrong on almost every issue. She also has a snobby aura that’s indicative of today’s progressives. So entrenched in the bubble this sect is that they have missed that their anti-voter ID law talking points are useless. It’s an issue where the people have come onto the side of the Republicans; voter ID is massively popular across the board. Yet, Hostin claims that if laws aimed at upholding election integrity are passed, like the Save Act, black...

A judge has sided with Huntington Beach, for a second time, in a legal challenge to the city’s new voter ID law.Huntington Beach Mayor Pat Burns issued a statement calling the ruling “a huge victory not only for our City but charter cities throughout the State … We will not back down in our efforts to secure local control over our local issues and will continue to fight for the City.” The backstory: Huntington Beach voters approved a measure last year allowing the city to require people to show ID when casting a ballot. State officials say that contradicts California...

An appeals court in North Carolina is requiring more than 65,000 voters in the hotly contested state Supreme Court race to provide proof of identity in order for their votes to be counted. The ruling could potentially swing the outcome of the race in favor of Republican candidate Judge Jefferson Griffin. The Friday decision was a win for Griffin, who challenged more than 60,000 ballots because the voters had not provided either a driver’s license or the last four digits of a Social Security Number upon registering, as required in North Carolina. “The post-election protest process preserves the fundamental right...

What was hailed by Democrats as a narrow 734-vote victory for Allison Riggs in the 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court race is now spiraling into electoral chaos, as a court ruling has cast doubt over tens of thousands of ballots that could flip the outcome in favor of conservative challenger Judge Jefferson Griffin. In a stunning decision filed Thursday, the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled that approximately 65,000 ballots—cast by voters with incomplete registration information, missing photo identification, or submitted by individuals who have never lived in North Carolina—may be invalid under state and federal election law. The 2-1...

Democrats hold only a 37% approval rating in Wisconsin, and voters passed a constitutional Voter ID amendment. How, then, did a Democrat secure a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court?

This judicial race for an open seat on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court has drawn national attention as proxy war for President Donald Trump’s agenda, with Elon Musk and others in his circle spending record amounts to back Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge and former Wisconsin attorney general. Schimel faces Susan Crawford, a Dane County judge backed by Democrats. The seat will determine majority control of this swing state’s high court, which is expected to issue decisions about abortion rights and redistricting this year.Election Results 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court

Two victories in the bag in Florida. Voter ID has a big win in Wisconsin--called early with only a few percent of the votes counted because the margin was so overwhelming. The Supreme Court race, however, is too close to call. April Fool's Day may seem to be an odd one to hold an election, but then again, many people worry that our elections in America have become something of a joke. They aren't, of course, even though a conversation with any Republican insider will give you a sour view of how elections are conducted in our fine country. The...

The order requires: ✅ Cutting federal funding to states who REFUSE to take steps to secure elections ✅ DHS resources be used to ensure illegals are NOT voting ✅ A citizenship question on the voting form for the first time ✅ DOJ to vigorously pursue election crimes, especially in states not compliant with federal law around election integrity

While requiring voters to prove they are who they say they are does make elections more secure, the reality tends to be more complicated.Pennsylvania, which cemented itself as a true swing state in the last few presidential elections, does not currently require voter ID at the polls, other than for first-time voters. The rumblings about the need for Pennsylvania voter ID are intensifying, and yet another in a long string of bills was just introduced.Social media punditry — by self-proclaimed experts — would lead the casual observer to believe that voter ID is the answer to all election integrity woes...

Elections in California are a mess, there's no doubt. If a proposed ballot initiative related to voter ID qualifies for the ballot and passes, though, the Democrat reign of terror in the state could be over. A number of elected officials and interest groups in the state have formed a coalition called Californians for Voter ID, and on Tuesday they announced their intention to "support the qualification of and passage of a Voter ID Initiative in California in the 2026 election." While the full text of the proposed initiative isn't yet available, according to the Reform California website here's what...

Digital IDs The REAL ID is being supported with a strong push through the states. The immigration effort also appears to be supporting the combination of digital IDs plus biometrics. Stargate Data Centers The Stargate initiative involves the building out of data centers sufficient to support a complete control grid and all-digital monetary system. Stargate mRNA Injections The proposal for personalized mRNA “vaccines” for cancer (and everything else) indicates a plan to roll out the injection program sufficient to implement the Internet of Bodies and continue to lower life expectancy. Stargate funding also helps support the ongoing global rollout of...

Did you catch this part? Elon said “I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.” Over $100 BILLION is being sent every year to people in America with no Social Security number This may be the biggest money laundering scandal since Ukraine, ActBlue, and all the other globalist scams This is why Democrats are freaking out - their DC gravy train was just exposed ... Elon Musk - To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has asked the U.S. attorney general to drop the federal lawsuit against the state’s election-reform law, litigation that commenced during the Biden administration. In Raffensperger’s letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, sent late Wednesday, Georgia’s secretary of state said that voting in the state increased to record levels after the law passed. Senate Bill 202, which Raffensperger advocated for and Gov. Brian Kemp signed in 2021, expands voter ID requirements to mail-in voting, puts restrictions on ballot harvesting, and codifies ballot drop boxes. Democrats routinely called the Georgia law “Jim Crow 2.0,” while President...

...Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is keeping the door open to conditioning California disaster aid on the state enacting voter identification laws, days after President Trump said he wanted to link the two priorities.... ...The Speaker went on to lament California’s track record of counting ballots at a slower pace than other states. A handful of House races in the Golden State were the last elections to be called in November. ... .

President Donald Trump on Friday said he wants California to implement voter ID laws before he would approve federal funds to help it recover from massive wildfires there and said he might eliminate the federal emergency response agency."I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID so that the people have a chance to vote. And I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things. After that, I will be the greatest president that California ever has ever seen," Trump said during a visit...

The conservative proponents of a November referendum on requiring photo identification to vote in Maine tucked in absentee voting limits that would hit two of the state’s liberal bastions hardest. The “Voter ID for ME” initiative would bar municipalities from having more than one absentee ballot drop box, a provision that would only affect Portland and Orono, the home of the University of Maine. The initiative would require a “bipartisan team of election officials” — rather than the local clerk or their designees — to retrieve ballots from the boxes...
