Trump’s executive order on voting rights. I may be misinterpreting this (correct me please if I am), but it sure sounds like you won’t be allowed to vote if you didn’t opt for a “RealID” version of your license. A regular driver’s license contains no information regarding citizenship status, at least in my state, so it wouldn’t count. A lot of low income people in rural America have skipped getting a “RealID” because it’s more expensive. If this order goes thru, that decision may cost them their right to vote. This could disenfranchise millions of low income voters.

    Everyone who is not part of the GOP’s demographic needs to get a passport card ASAP. It is RealID compliant, and only $30. Yeah, it sucks that you are being forced to do that, but everyone should go and do it now, before it gets DOGEd…

      Good luck with that. Americans couldn’t bother voting when it was “easy”, try getting special ids now that cost money and the gov is dismantled so everything will take forever
