THEY ARE TRYING TO RIG THE MIDTERMS. THIS WOULD BE GAME OVER!
Trump wants everyone to register to vote *in-person* (even for an update) and show either a birth certificate or passport. If your name does not match (such as a married women who takes their husband's last name) only a passport will be acceptable www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...
The SAVE Act: Overview and Facts
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly
