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:
https://www.factcheck.org/2025/02/will-save-act-prevent-married-women-from-registering-to-vote/
And an EO from 3/25 (that they didn't provide the name of:
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.
