The Brennan Center and other Voting Rights Groups Filed a Lawsuit this week, against a Trump (R) Executive Order (EO) that Amounts to a Multifront Assault on the Election system. If Implemented, it Threatens to Disenfranchise Millions of American Citizens, Compromise the Privacy of Sensitive Voter Data, and Disrupt Election Administration Nationwide. But the Constitution gives States and Congress the Authority to Regulate Elections, Not the President.
One of the Order’s Directives tries to Force an Independent Bipartisan Federal Agency to Require Americans to Produce a Passport or other Citizenship Document to Register to Vote. It comes as Congress considers the SAVE Act, which Pushes a similar “Show-your-Papers” Requirement for Voter Registration, that would Block 21 Million American Citizens from Voting. Hardest Hit would be Younger Americans, People of Color, and Married Women who have Changed their Names.
New Hampshire served as a Stark Preview of the Toll the SAVE Act could take on Voters if Enacted. Last month, the State held its First Elections, since it Implemented a Law requiring Documents like Birth Certificates and Passports to Register to Vote. Eligible Voters were Turned Away from the Polls due to the Policy, and while some Returned to Cast their Ballots, others did Not.
So All States, should start using the New REAL Driver Licence or State ID, that will indicate if You are a Citizen ot Not.
