Intelligent students won’t vote for republicans so republicans will stop them from voting.
Laws enacted in Idaho this year, for instance, prohibit the use of student IDs to register to vote or cast ballots. A new law in Ohio, in effect for the first time in Tuesday’s primary elections, requires voters to present government-authorized photo ID at the polls, but student IDs are not included. Identification issued by universities has not traditionally been accepted to vote in the Buckeye State, but the new law eliminates the use of utility bills, bank statements and other documents that students have used before.
A proposal in Texas would eliminate all campus polling places in the state. Meanwhile, officials in Montana – where Democrat Jon Tester is seeking a fourth term in one of 2024’s highest-profile Senate contests – have appealed a court decision striking down additional document requirements for those using student IDs to vote.
And voting rights advocates say a longstanding statute in Georgia, which bars the use of student IDs from private universities, has made it more difficult for students at several schools – including Spelman and Morehouse, storied HBCUs in Atlanta – to participate in Georgia’s competitive US Senate and presidential elections.
Trump Ally Says Key to Republicans Winning Elections Is to Stop College Kids From Voting
In a presentation delivered at a Republican National Committee donor retreat in Nashville on Saturday, Cleta Mitchell, who tried her hardest to help Donald Trump overturn the election in 2020, said that Republicans must work together to limit voting on college campuses, according to The Washington Post. “What are these college campus locations?” she asked, according to audio of the event obtained by the Post. “What is this young people effort that they do? They basically put the polling place next to the student dorm so they just have to roll out of bed, vote, and go back to bed.”
