Summary
Donald Trump announced plans to reform U.S. elections, including mandating paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship, while eliminating mail-in voting.
Trump criticized California’s ban on requiring voter ID, calling for a nationwide overhaul. Though mail-in and early voting surged during the pandemic, Trump has long opposed these methods, claiming fraud, despite evidence showing fraud rates are extremely low.
Critics argue his proposals could disproportionately affect rural, disabled, and nonwhite voters, potentially disenfranchising key Democratic-leaning groups.
The reforms would mark significant shifts in U.S. election policies.
This is why he wants to do that.
Thanks for putting that plain text from the top of the post into a jpeg down in the comments.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but I couldn’t copy the plain text on jerboa, so I had to screen shot.

Thank you!
When he declared Nov would be the last election, and winning it meant they wouldn’t have to worry about elections again, he meant it!
He’s doing exactly what he said he would do.
Yup. When a fascist tells you they are a fascist, believe them.
Yeah, but something something genocide, so voting is bad actually
When rural voters overwhelmingly voted for you, making it harder for them to vote seems like a great way to shoot yourself in the foot.
they can also add rules to restrict the number of polling places, resulting in disproportionately long lines in cities where democrats live
