A new political cartoon depicts Donald Trump redefining voter ID requirements at a polling place. The former president, shown in a white suit and hat, gestures toward a sign stating I.D. REQUIRED while a bird labeled JIM 2.0 smirks nearby. The bird's speech bubble states that I.D. stands for I DECIDE who gets to vote. Trump chuckles at the line.

The cartoon ties the visual to concerns that such rules could limit participation in elections.
