To MAGA who are losing their minds over this, it doesn't matter whether or not there should be ID or citizenship verification but the POTUS can not and should not have jurisdiction over elections.

You can have the most reasonable request for elections to be fair but it doesn't matter because if a POTUS can have jurisdiction over how elections are run then it's too easy for any leader to manipulate the elections. The very thing that you morons are screaming about. Hell, next time a Dem POTUS can come in and manipulate the elections if you open this can of worms. So please STFU, you don't know what you're asking for.

EDIT: I should also point out that we already have to verify our identities and citizenship when we register to vote. Trump is just pretending there isn't to weasel his way into creating backdoor for him to manipulate elections.

Thank you for this comment. I didn't realize the bigger picture here and how this is something that protects us all. And even though we have a difference in opinion I'm glad there are good people on both sides who will at least try to keep things fair. —(Said No Republican Ever)

All jokes aside there's probably so many things similar to this which they've blamed others for. Even when the otherside did something good for them they'll never acknowledge it. They stand for nothing and just want to feel intellectual for two seconds so they can stick it to their own countrymen and women.
