Trump cites India’s voter cards to make case for SAVE America Act
Washington: India’s Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar recently asked the US administration how elections in America can be held without a valid photo identification card, President Donald Trump stated, highlighting the need for mandatory photo IDs for every US voter to curb “electoral fraud”.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, further said less than one per cent of voters in India employed postal ballots in the recent general elections, and every voter had a valid photo identity document.
