The order would use federal #data to help state #election officials verify who is “eligible” to #vote in their jurisdictions. It would also require #AbsenteeBallots to be sent only to voters on each state's “approved” mail-in ballot list & mandate “secure” ballot envelopes with unique tracking barcodes.

DeWine, a term-limited #Republican, had warned #Ohio’s #GOP-led Legislature in 2023 that a sweeping package of #ElectionLaw changes he signed that year would likely be the last voting restrictions he would let past his veto pen. Election integrity in the state, he said, had been amply assured.
But, despite having reservations, DeWine on Friday signed legislation eliminating Ohio’s 4-day grace period for #AbsenteeBallots & making other voting changes.

#Oklahoma: Oklahoma House Passes Stricter #VoterID, Awaits Senate Scrutiny
By Amelia Claire Grant, March 29, 2025
"The Oklahoma House has given its nod to a new bill that ratchets up voter ID regulations; if you're planning on voting in 2027, you'll need to show a picture of yourself.
"The legislation dubbed House Bill 1005, spearheaded by Rep. Jim Olsen, R-Roland, is now one step closer to becoming law after coasting through the House with significant support, as reported by the Oklahoma House of Representatives' official site.
"Here's the deal: Should #HB1005 get the final thumbs up, Service Oklahoma is going to pair up with the Secretary of the State Election Board and get cracking on providing free photo IDs for voters, because everyone hustling to the polls will need to flash one—this applies whether you’re rocking up to vote in person or opting to mail in an absentee ballot."

#Maine: As Maine eyes voter ID law, Trump order tightens federal registration rules
by Caroline LeCour, March 27, 2025
"As Maine voters eye a statewide voter ID proposal, a new #ExecutiveOrder from President Donald #Trump is adding another layer to the conversation around election integrity and access.
"The order signed Wednesday would require proof of #USCitizenship to register for #FederalElections and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day—a change from the current system in many states that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received later.
"Though separate from Maine's voter ID proposal—which addresses identification at the polls rather than registration—some in the state see a common goal.
"'This is a policy, different policies to strengthen our elections, to increase confidence of voters to participate in our democratic process,' #AlexTitcomb, of the grassroots organization The Dinner Table, [a #Conservative #PAC] said. The group spared Maine's voter ID proposal, which was certified by the Maine Secretary of State earlier this year.
"Critics argue that requiring documents many voters may not readily have—especially those whose names may not match across forms of ID—could discourage legitimate voters from participating.
"'A lot of married women have changed their names, some of their documents don't match up,' Jen Lancaster, with the League of Women Voters of Maine, said. 'Maybe they don't have the perfect document, and they get turned away. That's what #VoterSuppression is. It's eligible voters being denied their right to vote.'
"Lancaster says the executive order is likely to face legal challenges, echoing concerns from national #VotingRights organizations."

@lednaBM @MarvinFreeman @504DR
I won't argue that Dem messaging was absolutely abysmal (I blame the #DNC), but as investigative journalist #GregPalast revealed, if not for rampant #VoterSuppression & uncounted #AbsenteeBallots in states with a #Republican governor/congress, #Harris would have won handily.

@ginaintheburg
#Republicans did a masterful job of screaming "#StolenElection!" when there was no stolen election.So now, after rampant #VoterSuppression & uncounted #AbsenteeBallots in #RedStates, #Democrats have been cowed into refusing to call for recounts & investigations for fear of looking like hypocrites. 😐

TO THE PEOPLE WHO RIDICULED ME for continuing to believe #OrangeHitler STOLE the 2024 #election via #VoterSuppression & tossing #AbsenteeBallots, famous #ElectionFraud documentarian #GregPalast HAS THE NUMBERS.
#Harris should have won 4 of the 7 swing states, 286 #ElectoralVotes (of 270 needed) and the #PopularVote by 1.2M.

A coalition of #VotingRights groups in #Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit w/the State Supreme Court on Wednesday asking it to overturn a lower-court decision barring any #AbsenteeBallots w/a missing or incorrect date from being counted. The coalition asked the State Supreme Court to use its “king’s bench” authority — meaning to move expeditiously — to resolve the case.

“To do so, they argued, they must be allowed access to some of the same material for which #ElectionConspiracists have been clamoring for years: cast-vote records from #VotingMachines, ballot reports, every envelope received w/ #AbsenteeBallots, every absentee ballot application & much more.
“…& attys for another co-defendant in the #Georgia case, #RobertCheeley, also signaled in a recent filing that litigating claims about GAs 2020 presidential election is likely to be key to his defense.”

"To see my integrity challenged, along with other members of the military to be challenged in this way, it is a shock. And to be potentially disenfranchised because of these actions, that's not OK."
