Summary

Donald Trump announced plans to reform U.S. elections, including mandating paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship, while eliminating mail-in voting.

Trump criticized California’s ban on requiring voter ID, calling for a nationwide overhaul. Though mail-in and early voting surged during the pandemic, Trump has long opposed these methods, claiming fraud, despite evidence showing fraud rates are extremely low.

Critics argue his proposals could disproportionately affect rural, disabled, and nonwhite voters, potentially disenfranchising key Democratic-leaning groups.

The reforms would mark significant shifts in U.S. election policies.

    Lmao good luck with that constitutional amendment, Donnie.

    This half-baked nonsense is dead at conception because once again Republicans prove they don’t understand government.

        The saving grace is that our federal government relies HEAVILY on state workers and agencies.

        A lot of states can simply say no, or “yeah, we’ll get around to it.”
