Very good.

How elections are conducted are the sole purview of the states.

Trump’s EO is un-Constitutional and devoid of merit, predicated on disinformation and lies, a lawless effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Not quite true. Article I Section 2 clearly give power for Federal election rules are set by state legislatures, except that Congress can make rules for Federal office.

Of course the Office of the President has no power over State election procedures. So carry on.

Tell that to Wisconsin. If you want to vote in this state, you'd better have a picture ID.

Election security should not be something left up to the individual states

Actually, it is Federal elections and the EO is sound and reasonable. But Democrats HATE fair elections.

Seems to me that States have jurisdiction over State elections while the Federal Government has a say in how national elections should be conducted. They should be fair; balanced; legal; and transparent. Not right that some states run fair elections while Marxists States like California and New York run biased elections.

In other words they must be able to continue to cheat in elections.

His order does violate the Constitution.

They should counter sue states that don't require voter ID for violating voter's rights.

So, Trump’s order IS unconstitutional

 

[Moonglow]

It is already a federal law that one must be a citizen to vote in a federal election. Yet the Constitution leaves it up to the states on how they process it.

 

[Moonglow]

once again .. Dems don't want voter id .. I wonder why ?

How much more ID do I need to vote since I already need a state-issued ID?

 

[WorldWatcher]

So, Trump’s order IS unconstitutional

I can't say. I haven't read the EO so don't feel like I can comment on that.

I do know that the President has 0, zero, nadda, zilch designatged powers in Arcticle II. Therefore the only powers the President has are in relation to laws passed by Congress.

I was responding to someone that said elections were within the sole purview of the states (assuming he also meant Federal elections). That is incorrect as Article I Section 2 clearly gives Congress the power to establish rules for Federal elections.
