"Donald Trump threatened on Friday to impose a requirement that US voters present photo identification before being allowed to cast ballots in the upcoming midterm elections. Trump insisted he will push for the change even if Congress fails to pass the Save America Act, which cleared the House earlier this week but faces an uphill battle in the Senate. The bill would impose a national photo identification requirement to vote, in addition to requiring proof of citizenship to register and drastically limiting mail-in voting."
"There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Trump posted in one of a series of missives sent while onboard Air Force One on Friday afternoon after speaking to troops at Fort Bragg. Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel, the president added, falsely, since there is no popular majority for banning vote by mail."
Donald Trump threatened to require photo identification for all U.S. voters in the upcoming midterm elections and pledged to press the measure even if Congress fails to pass the Save America Act. The bill would impose national voter photo ID, require proof of citizenship to register, and substantially restrict mail-in ballots. Trump announced the stance in social media posts from Air Force One, insisted on exceptions for military, disability, illness, or travel, and accused Democrats of cheating. Polling shows 58% support optional mail-in voting, and constitutional and state control issues mean immediate legal challenges are likely.
