Trump Anti-Voting Order Draws Furious Pushback

  1. This is the true beginning of the end, taking away the power of the people to change their government.

  2. Now’s a good time to argue against a voter ID and point out that there is no documentation that is more identifying than your birth certificate and SS Card, and you already present those when you register to vote. A voter ID would be based on your birth certificate and SS Card… There’s literally nothing else to base it on. So why would those things be good enough to get an ID to vote, but not vote?

    And a picture doesn’t matter either. Random volunteers at your voting station don’t know what you’re supposed to look like!

  3. Trump (and all Republicans, actually) hate it when people vote.

  4. he knows this is toothless, but it lets him bully red and purple states into enacting the legislation he wants, because republicans know demographics are not on their side and this shit show term is going to decimate republican support, so he wants to make it harder for new voters and dem voters to vote.

  5. This plus Speaker of the house floating the elimination of federal courts. These are the end times folks.

  6. WTF.

    Well, they are really racing to setup either no elections for 2026 or another executive order so they can manipulate the elections.

    I figured they’d try SOMETHING, but I never expected it before his first 100 days in office.

  7. But states rights and government overreach! At least that’s what Republicans said when Biden tried to make elections fairer

  8. Just another distraction from the SignalGate chaos. Also believe its intention for the upcoming special elections in NY and FL as these crooks have learned their damages are quicker than the court repercussions or reprimand.

  9. Within 24 hours, we’re going to get a Truth Social post from him with a completely outrageous spelling error and/or reference to someone’s penis—probably his own, maybe another golfer besides Arnold Palmer… Tiger Woods’ name has been coming up more recently? The national conversation will quickly shift to talking about what a wildly unpresidential thing he posted, and then no one will talk about the Signal leak or this new executive order anymore.

    The distractions are all by design, and he’s a master at them.

  10. I think more Democrats can probably prove their citizenship over Republicans. 

  11. You already have to prove citizenship so that means nothing. 

    The all votes must be counted on election Day part is truly concerning. Military votes are never all received by election day.

  12. Literally designed to suppress female and naturalized citizens from voting.

  13. Any non MAGA person who was paying attention literally said this was going to happen. Trump himself said, “if I win you won’t ever have to vote again”. Yet here we are seeing people shocked when he starts screwing with your right to vote. It wasn’t a joke, it wasn’t hyperbole. Democracy was at stake in the 2024 election and Americans failed the test.

  14. Friends in Oregon- we better start getting loud if we want to continue voting from the comfort of our couches.

    Yes, states control their elections, but I can see krasnov withholding federal funds to get everyone to line up.

  15. Hey, if your white, IQ of a dildo, and racist as a MF, you will be safe.

  16. The 40 percent of GOP shall not be phased. We all know this.

  17. So anyone can get an AR-15 but the real horror is too many people voting…

  18. His ass needs to be impeached and thrown in jail for all the god damned crimes he’s committed. This is a bloodless coup.

  19. This is our chance to call attention to what he wants to do to our democracy. This is a direct and undeniable attack on our right to vote.

  20. Ignoring the headline and reading the document, skipping to the first thing that isn’t a dog whistle but it’s an obvious wtf moment:

    > (2)(b)(iii) the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the DOGE Administrator, shall review each State’s publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities as required by 52 U.S.C. 20507, alongside Federal immigration databases and State records requested, including through subpoena where necessary and authorized by law, for consistency with Federal requirements.

    Why the *fuck* does DOGE need full access to voter registration lists?!

    > (2)(d) The head of each Federal voter registration executive department or agency (agency) under the National Voter Registration Act, 52 U.S.C. 20506(a), shall assess citizenship prior to providing a Federal voter registration form to enrollees of public assistance programs.

    So, now one dude is in charge of approving each individual voter registration?

    > (2)(e) The Attorney General shall prioritize enforcement of 18 U.S.C. 611 and 1015(f) and similar laws that restrict non-citizens from registering to vote or voting, including through use of: (iii) similar records relating to citizenship.

    Sounds like a license to do anything?

    > (4)(a) The Election Assistance Commission shall, pursuant to 52 U.S.C. 21003(b)(3)and 21142(c) and consistent with applicable law, take all appropriate action to cease providing Federal funds to States that do not comply with the Federal laws set forth in 52 U.S.C. 21145, including the requirement in 52 U.S.C. 20505(a)(1) that States accept and use the national mail voter registration form issued pursuant to 52 U.S.C. 20508(a)(1), including any requirement for documentary proof of United States citizenship adopted pursuant to section 2(a)(ii) of this order

    So the federal government is taking the voting administration powers away from the state now?

    > (4)(B)(ii) Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Election Assistance Commission shall take appropriate action to review and, if appropriate, re-certify voting systems under the new standards established under subsection (b)(i) of this section, and to rescind all previous certifications of voting equipment based on prior standards.

    Oh so the federal government is going to gain access to all of the voting machines for the whole country, right. Cool.

    > (5)(a) The Attorney General shall take all appropriate action to enter into information-sharing agreements, to the maximum extent possible, with the chief State election official or multi-member agency of each State. These agreements shall aim to provide the Department of Justice with detailed information on all suspected violations of State and Federal election laws discovered by State officials, including information on individuals who: (iv) intimidated or threatened voters or election officials

    So … If the Justice department decides to believe that you threatened an election official, they have a direct line of communication to your state voting official? I wonder why they need to be able to communicate like that? I know it said that communication goes in the other way, but this is also possible.

    > (7)(a) The Attorney General shall take all necessary action to enforce 2 U.S.C. 7 and 3 U.S.C. 1 against States that violate these provisions by including absentee or mail-in ballots received after Election Day in the final tabulation of votes for the appointment of Presidential electors and the election of members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives.

    Taking away more election control away from states, and wtf?

    > (7)(b) Consistent with 52 U.S.C. 21001(b) and other applicable law, the Election Assistance Commission shall condition any available funding to a State on that State’s compliance with the requirement in 52 U.S.C. 21081(a)(6) that each State adopt uniform and nondiscriminatory standards within that State that define what constitutes a vote and what will be counted as a vote, including that, as prescribed in 2 U.S.C. 7 and 3 U.S.C. 1, there be a uniform and nondiscriminatory ballot receipt deadline of Election Day for all methods of voting, excluding ballots cast in accordance with 52 U.S.C. 20301 et seq., after which no additional votes may be cast.

    Why the fuck are we redefining what a vote is state by state?

    > (9) Federal Actions to Address Executive Order 14019. The heads of all agencies, and the Election Assistance Commission, shall cease all agency actions implementing Executive Order 14019 of March 7, 2021 (Promoting Access to Voting), which was revoked by Executive Order 14148 of on January 20, 2025 (Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions), and, within 90 days of the date of this order, submit to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, a report describing compliance with this order.

    Making it a point to not help people register to vote using federal funds?

    > (11)(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

    Is this a “can’t sue me or the federal executive gov over it” get out of jail card or is it just me

  21. Je literally said you won’t have to vote anymore and millions of morons voted him in a second time anyway

  22. There is no way this will stand. This very clearly left to the states in the Constitution. But we’re also in the world of who fucking knows.

  23. People think this is the distraction to the shit texting fiasco. THIS is the real threat. The other thing is a major Fuck up, and heads should roll, But this is the very essence of our democracy. People better wake up real fucking quick. This is the start of the end game.

  24. Oh, good. Pushback. Wow! Good job democrats.

    Almost thought we lost it there.

    Too fucking scared to actually do anything.

  25. Trump has absolutely zero authority concerning this. He has no say in it at all. His EO is good for wiping your mass and nothing else.

  26. And people said it was “alarmist” and “over reacting” to say there is a chance we won’t get fair elections in the future.

  27. 2026 votes will be in favor of all republicans. Musk will fix it just like he did for the presidential election. How did a presidential candidate (Trump) win all 7 swing states in 40 years. Hmmm. Really?

    Do some research. It was rigged from the beginning. Trump did very little campaigning and has admitted numerous times about his “tech” who’s good at technology. Really !!!

  28. They are doing everything we were told we were crazy for saying they would do.

    Not even 100 days in we have

    -Concentration camps
    -making people disappear without due process to concentration camps.
    -people locked up for peacefully protesting
    -trump saying he will stay in office after he legally is allowed to
    -the regime saying they will ignore the law.and court orders
    -them literally ending congress’s power to make laws and set the budget.
    -now a direct attack on democracy itself.

    This is not a comprehensive list.

  29. this is why they weren’t super concerned over the war leak. They knew it would distract from the real issue, being this. and it’s working. I see a handful of articles about this but the leak issue plastered everywhere.

  30. I see all these “end-times” posts and all I can think is that those of us that have studied history already knew we were here.

  31. “Draws furious pushback” as if this shouldn’t be causing riots in the streets

  32. With all those gun owners in the US, they still let fascists ruin their country.
