Get ready for massive voter suppression, before and/or after the midterms:
Say hello to the
REAL ID Act. It was passed during the Bush years, and it's at long last nearing its completion in 2020. In October of 2020 (immediately prior to the election), it'll be required to board commercial aircraft (this part actually starts next year) or enter federal buildings.
Seems innocuous enough, right? Right. Except for this one itty bitty thing: The Secretary of Homeland Security can designate
any federal purpose as requiring it. They could require it to use the Post Office, qualify for social services, or even
vote.
So, Trump, the thin-skinned unstable narcissist, with the reliably worm-tongued Steve Bannon whispering horrific nothings into his ears day and night, could stealthily order Homeland Security to require it for federal votes right ahead of either of the big federal elections in the next 4 years - close enough to the elections disenfranchise millions of voters, all entirely legally.
