Analysis: Trump’s New Executive Order Is an "Unprecedented Voter Suppression Effort"

The order includes:

* allowing Elon Musk to subpoena voting records;

* giving Trump king-like power to make it harder to vote;

* preventing millions from registering to vote;

* severely limiting voting by mail.

If you have access to Bluesky this thread discusses Trump's new executive vomitus on elections. bsky.app/profile/esqueer.net/p

Assume this will be challenged in court because the states run elections, not the president.

She notes that it'll probably follow the provisions of the SAVE act for proof of citizenship.

-------------------------------------------------

"House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark called the SAVE Act an effort to “trick and mislead” the American people.

“It is built on a false premise that there are noncitizens voting in large numbers that are swaying elections. That is a complete lie, and they know it,” she said. “And what is the answer to that? Make it harder for women in this country to vote, who changed their names because they got married? That is voter suppression wrapped up in some sort of immigration argument.”" #voting #VoterSuppression 19thnews.org/2025/03/save-act-

Bluesky Social · Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net)Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

I am an optimistic Canadian and I think that the nation is pissed and is looking for a way of venting their frustration. An election is the perfect way of speaking your mind, so I am hoping that #VoterApathy and #VoterSuppression won't play a big enough part in the election to sway voters. The cons have a huge war chest and I am hearing a lot of ads for #PP - so it is going to be a very interesting campaign.

“[A] recent study showed that in Alabama, the gap between white and Black voter turnout in the 2024 election was the highest since at least 2008. If nonwhite voters in Alabama had voted at the same rate as white voters, more than 200,000 additional ballots would have been cast.”

Indiana has practically the lowest voter turnout in America. @bolts’s @taniel reports on efforts that will probably make it even lower. “Legislation banning the use of student IDs for voting passed the state Senate with near unanimous Republican support in early February and now sits with the GOP-run House,” he writes.

Bolts · Indiana Republicans Move to Ban Student IDs for Voting - BoltsThe new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, would make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.

People not receiving their voter card well before election day seems pretty deliberate and just stinks to high hell of #votersuppression.

Politics is really toxic and people only have a certain bandwidth of what they can process - so filtering out all of the #election information is a way of dealing with the onslaught of information and disinformation. So, people are relying on getting their voter card to let them know about the election. If you don't know, you don't vote.
