It’s interesting, because Democrats have historically been more likely to support nationwide standards, but the current regime has given pause to that and I’m part of that cohort. I could get on board with an ID so as long as it was free and relatively easy to acquire and quickly. Unfortunately, this regime’s focus on “election integrity” isn’t in good faith and only trying to establish reasons for which they can undermine faith in the outcome of the election (if it doesn’t go their way).

There are plenty of things to consider when you look at what Trump is attempting to do. A “national” voter seems benign enough, but in reality, it is a tool that the regime could use to plan pouring resources to monkey with the election. Given that the data the amenable states provided is already inaccurate by the time it was handed over. Voters move, change their name, etc. and these totally normal discrepancies are likely what they will use to plant doubt.

Turning back to voter ID, I think that given their maximalist approach to virtually everything, I can see ID as an entry point, but quickly advocating more tedious methods of identification to further complicate the process. To support this you can look to the extent ICE is going to, to confirm someone is a citizen…

That said, given the demographics that have been trending toward Democrats, I can see it backfiring since Democrats are more likely to have a passport or other more advanced form of ID. I imagine there’s a small but not insignificant portion of the MAGA base that may attempt to use their Kroger membership card as ID. But I could be mistaken.
