15. Elections come under state jurisdiction.

Sun Aug 31, 2025, 09:19 AM

Aug 31

Most of the Republican led states require ID proof, but not all.

When I reregistered to vote after the move from Rochester to Eden Prairie, I had to show my ID. That is the normal procedure. The same for same day registering to vote. ID is required. TACO cannot demand ID be shown in every state.

He can take it to the Supreme Court. If they infringe on the right of the states, then we no longer are the United States of America. How the 6 conservatives live with that is beyond me.
