> 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.

#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."

#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."

#LawrenceBritt, "Characteristics of #Fascism"
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."

“While #Gendermarkers are #irrelevant for the purposes of #voterID, under the #law, but #people won’t be allowed to #cast their #vote if the relevant #officer thinks there’s “#reasonabledoubt” that the person isn’t who they claim to be, based on their #photo on their #ID.”

Today, a new report from the #ElectoralCommission has found that #VoterID rules will impact people with #LowerIncomes , with #disabilities and from #MinorityEthnicBackgrounds But the Government has responded to say its reforms are ‘very encouraging’ and that most people “adapted well to the rollout”.
