LOL
In Texas this week the State announced it would pursue prosecutions of people who voted "illegally" without photo ID. these are people that were registered voters but showed up last November without their ID and poll workers let them vote anyway. These are legally registered voters!
Trump doesn't really need to do much. The GOP does all that work at the State Level. It's coordinated and planned by several right wing think tanks (funded by the Koch's, DeVoses, etc.) that write laws and publish action plans that are distributed to Republicans in the States and Washington. If you look at voter ID laws across GOP controlled states you can see that they're nearly identical in their wording, because they're not written by state Legislators, they're given to the State parties to rubber stamp. f Trump isn't part of any of it. Any republican president just steps into the roll and there's machinery to do the work of suppression and electoral manipulation and all he has to do is play along with it.
Of course, with Sessions in place now the States will have the Federal Government behind them when they step on people's rights.
