Red States Implementing Voter ID Workarounds As Trump Scolds Senate

“Several states will have ballot initiatives this November to decide whether to amend local constitutions or laws to clarify that only citizens can vote, including Arkansas, Arizona, Kansas, South Dakota and Alaska. In Michigan, a similar measure has not yet been placed on the ballot, as the state elections bureau has not verified the signatures required to advance,” The 19th News reported.

On March 31, Trump signed an executive order that requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other agencies to create a list of confirmed American citizens. The order also directs agencies to withhold federal funds from local governments that do not comply with these conditions.

These stipulations bypass the parameters established by the SAVE America Act. Shortly after the order was issued, Democratic lawmakers and nearly two dozen states filed a lawsuit against it, the outlet said.
