Pretty much every sane country requires Voter ID. India has strict voter ID and just counted over 600 million (67%) votes in 2019. Anyone claiming voter id is somehow suppressing and racist etc is lying because they want to cheat. You can d

Putting tariffs on other country products is a lot different than what's happening here. Every country puts tariffs. It's business and trade.
