Of these states, six have Democratic trifectas, 23 have Republican trifectas, and seven have divided governments. There are currently 14 states that do not require identification at the polls outside of what is required by federal law. Of these 14 states, 10 have Democratic trifectas, and four have a divided government.

      voting rights just got gutted, and lousiania already moving to invalidate elected positions, by eliminating it before the elect is seated.

      I would like to point out that statements like this can be used to stir up voter apathy which overwhelmingly benefits one party in the US.

        I would counter that ignoring statements like this leads to a different kind of apathy where people sit back and wait for a chance to vote out the dictator, letting him run rampant, and then act shocked when said vote does not get the dictator out.
