How Trump plans to block Democrats from voting in future elections. (Why we can't count on the 2026 Midterms.) 13 mins.

I believe the only reason Trump won in 2024 is with successful voter suppression.

This video is from Anthony Davis of 5 Minute News and provides the details of how it was done and how with new legislation now in Congress it will be made more difficult to vote in 2026.

This is why I hope the Democratic Party will focus on helping voters get registered including setting up a fund to help with the fees needed to obtain copies of marriage certificates needed by married women who took their husband's name because without that a birth certificate is not enough. I just had to order a marriage certificate in California the cost is $17 and is needed for the new, Real ID, and to renew my passport which I unfortunately allowed to expire too long ago for renewal without new documents.

Locally and individually, we can help people in our communities obtain the forms and applications to get copies of their necessary to register to vote documents.
