Voter Reform?

What does it mean?

No doubt, we will hear a lot about voter ID, same-day voting, rigged elections, etc, before the next election.

It is all meant to create a narrative that the next election is going to be "stolen", just like the election in 2020.

It is all connected to the over-turning of the "filibuster" rule in the US Senate. One day after the massacre of 2025, Trump met with Republicans to demand that they change the rule , or else they will all lose in the 2026 elections. But, some Republicans balked. They do not want Democrats to have the same rules to use against them.

Trump wants them to go "nuclear", so they can continue to tear down our democracy and steal the remainder of America's wealth. He wants the tax cuts to be permanent. He wants to replace the IRS with tariffs on the American people. He wants to fix elections to where the Republicans have a permanent majority. He needs the Senate to get rid of the 'filibuster" rule in order to complete this ransacking of the US Government.
