WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he won’t sign any other legislation into law until Congress passes a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill that he says also must end Americans’ ability to vote by mail, a startling demand months before the midterm elections.

Trump told House Republicans during their annual retreat at his golf club in Florida that he doesn’t think they will win elections unless voting laws are toughened up to prevent fraud — even though mail ballots are popular in many states and federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. citizens, with scant evidence that noncitizens ever try to vote.

    He’s such a piece of shit… Like it isn’t obvious, restrict voting sites in democratic locations causing long wait times, make proof of citizenship required at the last minute so people are caught off guard, and when lots of people don’t have passports or birth certificates handy, and also completely remove mail in ballots so those previously mentioned democratic locations get overwhelmed…

    Not at all obvious…
