This is completely in-line with a traditional republican view. I can't say I disagree in this respect - I'm not in his head, but requiring voter ID mandated by the federal gov. should only be applied to federal elections (president/vice-president). Yes we here all know the Democrats lie cheat and steal their way to victory, but it really is a state matter for state elections. That being said I do think this is a perfect case to impose federal pressure to a state controlled matter. Simply a "if you don't mandate voter ID then you don't get x,y,z funding"... force the states to mandate this themselves. There is a context here that he's looking at this in and I I think I'm seeing it... mostly. Why this is even a question is fricken garbage though... if any political party fights against voter ID then they are cheaters - but this should indeed be at the state level.
He's backing state sovereignty. I agree but the issue is there are too many compromised state govt and election systems now. If the fed govt doesn't force a clean up, state govts will never actually reflect the true will of their people. Its a dilemma.
But if the states continuously fail to secure their elections... And by the way, being forced to show id should be a fucking prerequisite -then I do believe the fed has the right to take over security.
100%, preserving states rights is super important. The dem states are broke af and need federal money to survive. Using that leverage to “encourage” their participation is the path.
