President Donald Trump said Friday there will be voter ID requirements for the midterm elections "whether approved by Congress or not."
President Donald Trump said Friday there will be voter ID requirements for the midterm elections "whether approved by Congress or not," vowing to issue an executive order if legislation fails.
"This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can't get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order," Trump said in a post on his social media platform.
In an earlier social media post, Trump claimed without evidence that Democrats are not in favor of voter ID laws because they "want to continue to cheat in Elections."
"This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," Trump said in the post.
"There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel," he added.
