President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Feb. 13 that he plans to sign an executive order requiring voter ID for midterm elections this year, as the SAVE Act remained on life support in the Senate.

“We cannot let the Democrats get away with NO VOTER I.D. any longer,” Trump wrote. “Even Democrat Voters agree, 85 percent, that there should be Voter I.D.”
