Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I'm still wondering if this is going to be another case of themselves shooting themselves in the dick.
Most major urban centers and areas with the most electoral value are populated by metropolitan people and immigrants who already are well-used to carrying their passports and copies of all their validating paperwork. I travel a lot and know a lot of immigrant families, they almost all always carry a passport as primary identification (especially right now) and have photocopies of their paperwork and related documents.
Meanwhile, across most of rural, white hicksville America, people often don't even have ID because they never left their town, and those who do may have their driver's license and not much else.
I am really unsure what the administration's plan is here. I figured they would have rolled out a voter ID law that actually helps them.
The chaos might be enough to sow doubt when the claims of rigging start flowing, as we all know they will.. maybe that’s all they really want, and everything else is a bonus.
I fully agree, and you can just look around here for an example of what they intended for this to do, lots of lefties here screaming and crying that we need to do a civil war or some shit, and that the election will be stolen and voting is useless.
(For bonus points, check the account ages on many of these people.)
I just don't think it's going to have the impact they think it will, I think there's going to be a public sentiment steamrolling them. People always vote out the incumbent leadership when they're struggling and unhappy and I've never seen the country less secure and more fed-up with the prices of shit and the distracting culture-war nonsense.
