ELECTION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/VOTER FRAUD: “President Donald Trump on Wednesday [11-14-18] once again tried to make a case for voter ID laws by using a grocery store analogy, inexplicably claiming shoppers need to show identification to buy cereal…The President appeared to be referencing an earlier argument he’d made this summer — that because photo identification is required for something as basic as purchasing groceries with a check or credit card, it should also be required in order to vote. However, if you’re purchasing cereal in the United States, there’s no universal requirement for showing your ID at the cash register. The White House did not respond to CNN’s request for clarification on the President’s Wednesday remarks. Photo ID is required when purchasing alcohol, cigarettes, some medicines, and occasionally when verifying purchases made with a credit card or, decreasingly, with a check. In a small number of states, identification photos are included on food stamp cards for low income families, and several chains, such as Costco, may require identification when applying for membership.”
