Can you link the better sources? After a skim for sources I found 7, is that not enough for you for a short article?

The two big things it references:

Save act:

The SAVE Act would require that individuals registering to vote show “documentary proof of United States citizenship,” including when they re-register after moving to a new state.

And an EO from 3/25 (that they didn't provide the name of:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive action to overhaul U.S. elections, including requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and demanding that all ballots be received by Election Day

https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-3-25-2025

They both do the same thing, and happened months ago...

But to be fair, I often overestimate how much a random person remembers. They're not wrong with their opinion on what all this means.

It's just the way they present it often feels too much like trump for the average person to listen.

Because of all the reasons I said in the last comment.

The ratio of sourced content to editorial rant is just too low. You have to really be committed to go through the article to figure out concretely what the hell they are taking about. Most of it is just reiterating how outrageous it is and how an alphabet soup of leftist organizations are either outages or should be outraged, and a vague list of the measures that are outrageous that is mostly focused on why it is outrageous rather than what the actual measures are. It eventually does concretely describe two things, the id requirement and the voting infrastructure audits, but that's a tiny fraction of the article.
