The president called for legislation that would require all voters to present photo identification and proof of citizenship. The proposal would restrict mail-in ballots to voters who are ill, disabled, serving in the military, or traveling.
The president stated there is only one reason to oppose the requirements. The statement followed a Supreme Court ruling on voter rights. "ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PHOTO I.D. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (except for illness, disability, military, or travel). There is only one reason to oppose — CHEATING!" The president described the message as clear.
