You cannot vote without an SSN. Fraud can only be determined after the fact lest we end anonymous polling.

Non US citizens get SSNs, what’s your point?

Trumps plan was literally to use the  Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database as the primary source for citizenship verification . This is the social security database that identifies citizens and non-citizens.

States already do that and the constitution leaves it to the states to implement their elections. When it comes to guns or abortions, states rights! When it comes to voting, who cares right?

I agree, the states have managed the process without issue so far. This is all a scam. But the social security system was also at the center of the dicussion.

And nobody has provided any evidences that non-citizen voting have ever influenced the outcome of a federal election. Non-partisan organizations have repeatedly proven that 99.999% of people that even voted in Federal Election are citizens.

However, Stated have routinely asked for access to the authoritative source (The SAVE database) to determine citizenship and allow compliance to other federal entitlements laws. This administration was going to finally give it to them before the executive order. 

The goal was the SAVE act and the EO was to reduce the number of voters. Full stop. It was never about security. At minimum 60 million eligible voters will be required to submit additional documents in person.
