Dear Commons Community,
As Trump wrapped up his nearly 75-minute speech on Friday night, he delivered a final pitch (see video below) to the Christian conservative crowd, saying if they vote for him on Election Day, they would never be obligated to vote again.
“I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote,” Trump said at Turning Point Action’s Believers Summit in West Palm Beach. “Christians, get out and vote just this time.”
“You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed,” Trump said.
He added: “I love you, Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
The Harris campaign is characterizing Trump’s comment that if Christians vote this one time they won’t have to do it anymore as a “vow to end democracy.”
“When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom she means it. Our democracy is under assault by criminal Donald Trump,” Harris for President Spokesperson James Singer said. “Donald Trump wants to take America backward, to a politics of hate, chaos, and fear – this November America will unite around Vice President Kamala Harris to stop him.”
Dictator Trump for president!

That is the implication of what he is saying but how he does is constitutionally problematic.
What does he mean by that? Is he going to cancel the democracy?
