Trump wrote today: "The US election has been rigged, stolen, and become a laughingstock around the world. Either we fix the electoral system or this country will cease to exist. I call on all Republicans to fight for the following propositions:
The 'Save America Act'!
1. All voters must present a voter ID.
2. All voters must present proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote.
3. Mail-in voting is prohibited (except for those who are ill, disabled, military personnel, or have mobility issues)."
Comment: Trump's obsession with his 2020 defeat has evolved from personal emotion into a systematic effort to reform the American electoral rules. His so-called "Save America Act" is essentially an act of revenge, tightening the rules that were unfavorable to him in the past, such as mail-in voting and convenient registration, by raising the legal barriers to voting, thus indirectly reducing the participation of the Democratic base. It effectively suppresses the voting rights of elderly people, low-income groups, and minority groups, who rely more on mail-in voting and simple registration. He constantly stirs up his supporters with phrases like "rigged" and "stolen," and creates panic with "if we don't reform, the country will perish," aiming to firmly bind the Republicans and hijack the election agenda, ensuring that the next election does not put him at a disadvantage again. This party-centric approach cannot restore the credibility of American democracy.
