    I wonder if these faces are planning to vote? And what the implications are for the slow-rolling Thump-coup already gathering steam…

  2. > Trump pushed Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, saying that the bill “requires that all voters must show photo voter ID. How simple is that?” The bill requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote, he added. But it may not be that simple for some voters. Election experts say the bill would make it difficult for some to register and cast a vote. ...

    Under the bill, Americans would need to prove citizenship when registering to vote or changing their registration. For most people, that would mean presenting, in person to an election official, either only a U.S. passport, or a certified birth certificate along with a driver’s license or other government-issued photo ID. Election experts have raised concerns about millions of Americans not having a passport or ready access to their birth certificates, and the bill creating too many hurdles to cast a vote.

  3. Wisconsin already has its own version of the Save Act written down. This investigation just proves the President couldn't give two shits about waste, fraud and abuse.

  4. Did Trump's Iran strategy weaken the U.S.? Heather Cox Richardson shares how scholar Phillips P. O'Brien reveals Trump's war on Iran left the U.S. negotiating without leverage, creating unprecedented weakness. Further, a housing bill signing was reportedly cancelled over voter ID demands.

  5. Regarding the #voterID bill #Trump is strong-arming #Congress into passing, the #Senate has tried & failed FIVE TIMES SINCE MARCH to force it through to appease him.

    The package of national voting restrictions called the “SAVE America Act” would require a photo ID to vote in federal #elections & proof of #US #citizenship to register, while compelling #states to turn over their voter registration ​rolls to the #federal government.

  6. Voter ID Laws

    We Canadians' have been using voter ID to get a ballot for more than 20 years. I think voter ID to get a ballot is a good idea:

  8. SENATE DEBATES VOTER IDENTIFICATION AMID CONSTITUTIONAL CLAIMS

    Senate Republicans questioned Democrats' stance on voter ID laws after the SAVE America Act failed. See why this debate matters for election security and voting rights.

  9. Republicans are pointing out that Democrats previously supported voter ID laws, but now oppose them in the SAVE America Act. This is a change from their position two years ago.

  10. #factCheck
    Claim by Senator Duckworth: “9% of American citizens don’t have the identification that the SAVE act requires to vote. Almost 1 in 10.”

    PolitiFact rating: Mostly True
    A 2023 national survey found about 9% of U.S. adult citizens either lack or cannot readily access documentary proof of citizenship, and a similar share lack a nonexpired driver’s license. However, the figure includes people who may have documents but cannot easily access them, and the survey was not limited specifically to registered voters.

    > Democrats opposing the SAVE America Act, which would require certain documents to register to vote and cast a ballot, point to a study showing 9% of adult U.S. citizens would have difficulty with those requirements.

  11. EVERYONE, no matter your political ideology, should be freaking out about widespread #elections interference THIS YEAR. Not the made up scourge of non-citizens voting, but the #voterID #SAVEAmericaAct which would require a birth certificate/passport to vote. It will disenfranchise millions of eligible citizens, especially #seniors, #POCs, #students & low‑income voters, deepening turnout gaps & #votersuppression. If passed it goes into effect immediately. #Democracy #news

  12. Arapahoe County clerk refutes former Aurora lawmaker's claims of election interference

    “Full stop,” Lopez said. “Any texts a voter may have received most likely came either from a political party communicating with its own registered members, or from BallotTrax"

  14. #WabanakiAlliance Urges Voters to Reject Question 1 on Nov. 4

    "On #November4th, Maine voters will face a referendum question, #Question1, that seeks to fundamentally change Maine’s election laws and make it significantly harder for #Wabanaki citizens and all Maine voters to cast their vote — especially our #elders, people with #disabilities, working voters, #caretakers, and those without reliable transportation.

    "The Wabanaki Alliance is a proud partner of the #SaveMaineAbsenteeVoting campaign and stands in strong opposition to this measure, which would create unnecessary barriers to voting and disproportionately harm our citizens. For the #WabanakiNations, the right to vote is sacred and the result of a hard-won battle by our ancestors. Voting rights weren’t extended to Wabanaki citizens in Maine until 1967, decades after federal voting rights for indigenous people were passed in 1924. Another deeply troubling aspect of this ballot measure is that it explicitly excludes #TribalIdentification from the list of acceptable forms of #VoterID. As federally recognized tribal nations, we value our #TribalSovereignty and self-determination. This exclusion seeks to invalidate and undermine the ability to identify our people and have that authorization respected. As the original stewards of these lands and waters now called Maine since time immemorial, we find it imperative to assert this right and have it honored.

    "Question 1 is not a measure to secure our elections. It is a measure to suppress votes. The Wabanaki Alliance urges all Maine voters to vote NO on Question 1 this November to protect the right to vote for all Mainers.

    How Will Question 1 Make It Harder to Vote?

    Q1 will restrict your ability to request an absentee ballot by:

    Creating a voter ID requirement for the first time AND excluding Tribal IDs, university or college student IDs, employee IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates from the list of acceptable IDs required to request and return an absentee ballot or to vote in person on Election Day.
    Eliminating the option to call your town clerk to request an absentee ballot, making it harder for those without reliable transportation or internet to request an absentee ballot.
    Prohibiting town clerks from sending you an absentee ballot that you requested online until you provide proof of an approved photo ID, either in person or by mailing a photocopy of your photo ID or your driver’s license number or non-driver ID number.
    Eliminating ongoing absentee ballots for seniors and people with disabilities.
    Eliminating the ability for a designated family member or friend to pick up your absentee ballot on your behalf.

    Q1 will make it harder for you to return your absentee ballot by mail or drop box by:

    Limiting towns to only offering a single ballot drop-box at the town hall. This would mean town clerks would be prohibited from providing absentee drop-boxes that are most convenient to where Wabanaki citizens live.
    Prohibiting towns from including return postage on absentee ballots, even if taxpayers vote to fund it.
    Requiring you to include a photocopy of an approved photo ID or your driver’s license number or non-driver ID number with your absentee ballot. Your vote will not be counted without that proof. The referendum also excludes Tribal IDs and other forms of valid ID from the list of acceptable IDs required to vote.
    Eliminating the ability for a designated family member or friend to return your absentee ballot for you.

    Q1 will undermine the security of absentee voting by:

    Second-guessing town clerks, requiring a two-person, bipartisan team to check ballot boxes, instead of the clerk or a trusted member of their staff. This restriction will place undue pressure on town clerks, and will lead many towns to simply get rid of their secure drop-boxes.

    Q1 will make it harder to vote in person, either on Election Day or by absentee ballot, by:

    Shortening the time period for early absentee voting by two days — eliminating the two most popular days for early absentee voting.
    Creating a voter ID requirement for the first time AND excluding Tribal ID, university or college student ID, employee ID, Social Security card, or birth certificate from the list of acceptable IDs required to cast their ballot.


    Key Dates

    ✅ October 30: Last day to vote early in-person absentee and the last day to request an absentee ballot.*

    ✅ November 4: Election Day. Polls are open from 8 am to 8 pm. All absentee ballots must be returned to your town clerk by 8 pm."

    14. #FraudulentElections
    "Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections."

  17. CW: UK Politics; UK Law; Voter ID

    I know many are appalled at Govt's #VoterID plans - & clear attempts to further disenfranchise younger voters by limiting the forms of ID they can use (as compared with older voters)

    This policy is despicable- but it would be difficult to challenge legally atm (see attached briefing from Good Law Project)

    We need to think instead about political campaigning (as #ElectoralReformSociety are doing)

    Any other campaigns/ groups you'd recommend?

    The Government is engaged in what is - quite nakedly - voter suppression

    Read this and weep from the #ElectoralReformSociety on one of the ways that Government is deliberately making it harder for young people to vote
