He also noted that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar recently questioned why US elections lack mandatory photo identification.
Trump is leveraging these international comparisons to drum up support for nationwide voter ID requirements, mandatory proof of citizenship for voter registration, and severe restrictions on mail-in voting across the US. &ldquo;We need to pass <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/donald-trump-praises-indias-voter-id-system-while-pushing-save-america-act-23645295" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,</a> now,&rdquo; he asserted.
