President Trump issues an E.O. requiring Voter ID for Federal Elections.
Post an armed, National Guard member in full gear at every polling place in the US and have an ICE Agent on call. Protection of all voters is assured.
Issuing such an E.O. like this would cause Dems to judge shop and impose an injunction, but President Trump would ram it straight up the USSC.
Once there, the USSC would have to try to reconcile how entry to the USSC requires a Federal ID as does does entrance to every other Federal Building.
It might actually be law right now (I am not a lawyer), but have President Trump declare that all polling places involved in Federal elections are surrogate Federal facilities, because they are handling Federal documentation for a Federal election.
An official government issued ID will be required to enter the surrogate Federal facility for the time that ballots remain at the polling location. The ballots are remanded to Federal custody, and ferried to a Federally secured location accompanied by the National Guard member already stationed at the polling place. Since the USSC building and Federal polling places are each deemed to be Federal facilities under the protection and control of routine Federal facility access practices, there would be a seamless solution to which USSC could not object either conceptually and legally.
Federal Property Law and Legal Definition
"20 USCS § 107e defines "federal property" as any building, land, or other real property owned, leased, or occupied by any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States (including the Department of Defense and the United States Postal Service), or any other instrumentality wholly owned by the United States, or by any department or agency of the District of Columbia or any territory or possession of the United States."
Theory: Could polling places used in Federal Elections be considered to be "occupied" by "department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States," such as the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, for instance? This division is vested with assuring that the voting rights of citizens are upheld, and it is the division to which voting right civil rights complaints may be filed. In essence the DOJ would supervise a Federal election as it deputizes the polling place for temporarily housing a division of local Civil Rights Division units of the DOJ.
FReegards!
