Dear Editor:

Yes, the law requiring voter ID and citizenship is already on the books, and 86% of Americans agree with it, while GOP senators like Thune, Cornyn, McConnell, Tillis, Barrasso, Collins, Murkowski, Graham, Lankford, and Cassidy care more about obsessively opposing everything Trump says and does rather than honoring their oaths by upholding the law.

Based on evidence, the number of illegal votes needed for flipping most elections is in the low thousands, and weeks are needed and provided by post-election day ‘long counts’ to pull off the steals. And so, a well-timed and legally justified Trump Executive Order (EO) is essential before the midterms, soon enough to be physically enforced by federal officers present at every urban blue/swing state election site, and too late for radical Democrats to mount a legal challenge. The EO-authorized presence of federal agents alone would deter hundreds of thousands of illegal voters from even showing up.

Just three things are needed in the EO: an ID requirement, an enforced cease-count at midnight of election day, and notification of a federal agent presence at every vote-casting location. The midnight cease-count has already been established by a 1996 Supreme Court ruling, and can be legally and physically enforced by federal agents entering the polling places just before midnight.

If I know these simple facts, one can safely assume that Trump knows them as well, and mid-October would be just about right for an historic Executive Order.
