4. Expect all manner of problems for people with Hispanic surnames when they try to vote

Where I live, lots of people with Hispanic surnames come from families rooted in this land since before the white people showed up. They are citizens and can vote. But I fully expect too many such solid citizens will have ballots tossed due to racism.

The more I see of Trump's hatred for those with different names and cultures, the more I wonder if it is rooted more deeply than his fear of GOP election losses. What if he, himself is not actually US born? His mom made a visit back to Scotland when pregnant with him. Did she come back to NY still pregnant, or carrying an infant? He sure seems more and more touchy re citizenship issues.
