Donald Trump Fears Republican Disaster at Next Election: 'Start Suing Now'

Last updated October 6th, 2023 at 02:00 pm

Donald Trump has criticized Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s decision to introduce automatic voter registration in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, urging the Republican Party (RPC) to “start suing now.” The former president was reacting to the September 19 announcement from Shapiro that people in Pennsylvania will now be automatically registered to vote once they have received or renewed their driver’s license or state ID. Trump accused the automatic voter registration in Pennsylvania of being a “disaster” for the election hopes of Republicans and accused it of being a “totally Unconstitutional Act.” Pennsylvania was one of several states where Trump and his allies repeatedly and falsely claimed the former president lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election because of widespread voter fraud.

The issue of voter integrity looks certain to be a hot topic in the swing state over the next 13 months. Pennsylvania is not only set to play another major role in determining who the next president will be next year but also which party will control both the Senate and the House of Representatives following the 2024 elections. Studies have shown that automatic voter registration, authorized by both federal and state law, significantly increases the number of voters being registered, which could favor Democrats. Trump also suggested that the Republican National Committee (RNC) and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, “spend their time working on this” rather than the “meaningless” GOP primary debates. Trump did not take part in the first televised Republican primary debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 23, as he did not see the need because of his overwhelming lead in the polls.

Shapiro’s office said that in other states, automatic voter registration has helped streamline the registration process for military families, who are more likely to move and change addresses than other Americans. The move to automatic voter registration also reduces the need for slower paper applications, with electronic registrations recorded during driver’s license applications also more secure. Shapiro’s office said that residents of our Commonwealth already provide proof of identity, residency, age, and citizenship at the DMV—all the information required to register to vote—so it makes good sense to streamline that process with voter registration.

In a statement to Newsweek, Shapiro spokesperson Manuel Bonder said that Trump’s “obsession with spreading lies about our elections is dangerous.” However, facts matter—and it is abundantly clear this common sense, nonpartisan step to securely streamline voter registration and enhance election security is within the Governor’s executive authority. The Governor will remain focused on defending our democracy and empowering eligible Pennsylvanians to vote, no matter who they choose to support.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has announced a switch to automatic voter registration, which has been criticized by Trump as a “disaster” for the election hopes of Republicans. The move is seen as a “totally Unconstitutional Act,” as it significantly increases the number of voters being registered, potentially favoring Democrats.

Trump called for the Pennsylvania Republican Party to start suing now and get the right lawyers this time, and called for the Pennsylvania Republican Party to make America great again. Shapiro spokesperson Manuel Bonder said that Trump’s obsession with spreading lies about our elections is dangerous, but facts matter.
