For the subsequent presidential elections, Nevada will depart this shameful checklist, since in a referendum held on the identical day of the elections the vast majority of the inhabitants has authorised the incorporation into the Structure of a clause that requires a doc with a reputation and picture to take part within the elections.
Trump and Vance’s victory has occurred in 30 states, in 28 of which officers require proof of id from voters. That’s, Republicans win within the states the place the best to vote is most assured and guarded.
