Why is the government strong-arming states for voter data? It's not for immigration, because only US citizens can register to vote. So why?
VOTER DATA FACTS: Only U.S. citizens can legally register to vote. State voter data includes name, address, social security number, and party affiliation. In some states, voter data may include whether a person voted in the last election. Voter data never shows how a person voted. Those who claim the federal government needs state voter date in order to find "illegal aliens" are either idiots or liars. So why ask for it? — Good question.

The US minimum wage has not changed from $7.25 per hour since the mid-eighties. No wonder young people cannot afford vehicles or housing.
In 1986 the federal minimum wage was $7.25. The average cost of a mid-size new car was $12,000. In 2026, the federal minimum wage is $7.25. The average cost of a mid-sized new car is $50,000.
