@MGenius15636 @AP I think they will just get more security guards with them all the time. Probably cheaper too. 🤷‍♂️

This is what ChatGPT says. Looks pretty unlikely to happen.

Yes, if a party controls the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, and the presidency, they would have the legislative power to push for a bill requiring voter ID checks for federal elections. However, the process involves several complex factors:

Steps and Considerations

1.Bill Passage: The party could introduce a bill in Congress requiring voter ID checks for federal elections (such as presidential and congressional elections). With control over both chambers, they could potentially pass the bill, but it would still be subject to:
•Filibuster in the Senate: Unless filibuster rules change or the bill has strong bipartisan support, it would need at least 60 votes to advance in the Senate, which often requires some support from the minority party.
•Presidential Approval: If both chambers pass the bill, it would then need the president’s signature to become law.
2.Constitutional and Legal Challenges: Voter ID requirements can face legal scrutiny, particularly under the 14th and 15th Amendments (which protect equal rights and prevent racial discrimination in voting). Opponents may argue that ID requirements could disenfranchise certain groups, potentially leading to legal challenges.
3.State Authority Over Elections: The U.S. Constitution grants states significant authority over election processes. While Congress has some power to set standards for federal elections (Article I, Section 4), states control most election laws and might challenge a federal voter ID requirement on states’ rights grounds.
4.Precedents and the Courts: The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld certain voter ID laws, such as Indiana’s in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board (2008). However, it often depends on how the law is framed and its impact on voters, meaning that federal voter ID legislation would likely undergo judicial review if passed.

Overall, while controlling Congress and the presidency gives a party the legislative tools to propose such a bill, significant procedural, legal, and constitutional hurdles would likely arise.

Many people born in the US don’t understand what America means to some people. I became an American citizen a month ago, and I want to share my story. I dreamed about America since I was 13 years old; I thought it was the best country in the whole world, and it was my biggest dream to live here. I moved to the US when I was 17. It took me 11 years to become a US citizen. I had to get six visas one after another, and every time, I had to explain and prove that I deserved it. I was so scared that I might not be worthy of a green card, and I cried when I was finally approved.

In those 11 years, I never missed a rent payment or got a ticket because I really wanted to show that I was worthy of living here. Every single day, I aimed to be the best version of myself to live in what I saw as the best country. I spent over a million dollars on rent, my car, and daily living expenses. I always paid my taxes, and I worked incredibly hard to get to this point. Becoming a US citizen is one of my biggest achievements in life. I would look at the American passports of my friends and think, “What a beautiful passport,” admiring every page, every detail. I would hold it in my hand, wishing and dreaming that one day I would open that little book and see my own photo inside. I still can’t believe it when I open my passport now and see my face. It feels too good to be true.

My whole point is that I never received any benefits or government support; I never wanted to take advantage of this country. I worked hard and was always grateful to live here. I support every legal immigrant who has gone through the same journey and made the hard choice to leave everything behind to start a new chapter for a better future.

It breaks my heart to see how some people now can just walk in and get a passport. Does this mean that all my hard work was for nothing?
