Dems and GOP To End Obama Election Gambit

All 50 state secretaries of state are urging the Trump administration to rescind a last-minute Department of Homeland Security directive calling state election systems “critical infrastructure.”

Many state officials fear this is the first step toward a federal takeover of state-run elections, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

On this one the dumbocrats had the right idea! Any election with a presidential component should follow a federal procedure. Every voter and every candidate needs to have presented a birth certificate during the registration process.

This would prevent illegals from voting as well as candidates that previously claimed foreign student status!
