Washington, June 27: President Donald Trump has reiterated his call for significant electoral reforms in the United States. He urged Congress to pass the ‘America Save Act,’ which would require voters to present photo identification and proof of citizenship.
Speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference, Trump emphasized the necessity of this legislation to protect American elections. “We must pass the America Save Act to safeguard our elections,” he stated.
The proposed reforms include voter identification, citizenship verification, and limitations on mail-in voting. All voters would be required to show photo ID and provide proof of citizenship.
Trump remarked, “Mail-in ballots should only be permitted in specific cases. We do not want mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment, or travel. We will proceed with great caution.”
He criticized Democrats and some Republicans for opposing this initiative, specifically naming Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski. “You have Democrats and some Republicans who are doing great harm to this country, while some Republicans are fighting against it, like Lisa Murkowski from Alaska,” he said.
Trump urged supporters to contact Murkowski, insisting, “You need to call them and tell them to get to work. They must vote. This is called the America Save Act.”
He also condemned California’s election system, claiming that the counting of votes takes excessively long. “Look at what’s happening in California, where ballots are still not in. The results are still not in. Can you believe it? Even weeks later, the counting is not complete,” he noted.
Without providing evidence, Trump alleged fraud in the election process and referenced Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton in his criticisms of the state’s vote counting procedures.
He compared California’s situation to Colombia, stating that the South American country counted 30 million votes on election night. “They had 30 million votes; by 9:30 PM, every vote was counted, and there were no complaints,” he asserted.
Trump argued that prolonged counting raises concerns about manipulation. He placed this issue at the forefront of the upcoming midterm elections, urging supporters to come forward and defend the achievements of his administration.
“Everyone needs to get out and vote in the midterm elections. We must win this election. It is very important,” he declared.
Later in his speech, Trump addressed complaints about the elections and reiterated his claims of fraud in the 2020 election. These remarks came during a significant speech focused on religion, immigration, national security, the economy, and the 250th anniversary of American freedom.
