"Check to seniors = money for midterms" the way media outlets treat Trump bribing voters like it's a no big deal is mind-boggling.
President Trump said he plans to send $90 check to more than 20 million seniors this month. See how much money is going to midterm battlegrounds.

Another term for this is poll tax, but where would they have gotten that idea from?
Only about 1/2 of Americans have a passport. Being on a voter roll but not have having a passport proves nothing, other than you likely haven’t travelled internationally (ie, a marker for poverty)
