(iii) Proposed provisions specifying that the USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from any individual unless those individuals have been enrolled on a State-specific list described in subsection (b)(iv) of this section with the USPS pursuant to this subsection.
One of the great failings of this government is not providing a punishment for repeatedly issuing unconstitutional orders. He has exactly zero incentive to stop.
Our Congress has allowed a lawless president to do whatever he wanted. It is a MAGA coup dresses as Republicans.
Checks and balances doesn’t work if one party is in charge of everything. I found the John Oliver episode about Hungary to be particularly terrifying.
Imagine if Trump rigged the election so they had a super majority in the senate and a majority in the house. They could rewrite the constitution. What then?
Re-writing the constitution (e.g., amendments) also takes approval from the states themselves.
I mean if that doesnt provoke a civil war nothing ever will
Impeach him now
Just use USPS send out a letter
You are registered to vote absentee and your ballot should arrive on [Date].
However, due to federal election interference we cannot guarantee you will get your ballot by mail. If there is any delay we recommend you contact this number XXXX for direct delivery/transportation services or retrieve a new ballot in person at [Address]
Would still suppress turnout but at least there’s no ballot to confiscate
That’s cool, I’ll just bring all dozen ballots from my family to the local registrar office drop off. No USPS involved.
Thanks for the warning Trump!
Can you do that in other states? In Pennsylvania we can only return our own and, if you get designated by another person by filling out a form, and even then you can only be one person’s designated person.
I love that the noose of reality is tightening around this regime’s neck.
However, as they see the end they’re getting more and more dangerous, because there’s no way they’re going to let themselves face justice at the end. I predict this summer and fall are going to be the darkest times of my lifetime, and potentially a lot of violence from the regime.
I genuinely fear that ICE will be arresting people that look like they will vote democrat. You can’t vote if you’re sitting in a cell overnight. States like California and Illinois might protect their citizens. But states like Georgia (which has a democratic senator up for reelection) likely will give ICE free reign.

I mean, I remember this gleeful enthusiasm back in 2006 and 2018. Very likely there’s a bloodbath in the next election. But… what comes next?
Will Dems actually be in charge of the Senate? Or do we get the “John Fetterman Says No” show for the next two years?
Does the House try and rein in the President or just double down on war funding while doing photo ops of Hakeem Jeffries shrugging impotently?
Go back to Pelosi’s House under Bush. And Pelosi/Schumer under Trump 1. These were not inspiring moments of liberal leadership. More often than not, Dems don’t stop the fascism. They just cash in and become complicit.
Yeah I’m well aware of the copium. One realistic way that I see change happening is the regime does something so heinous and appalling in the next 6-12 months that everyone will get angry enough and, while it won’t lead to a direct overthrow, a lot of the farther left candidates will gain more and more power.
This act would have to be like, murdering a crowd of protestors so they can’t vote or something. I should clarify a crowd of white, straight, middle class protestors***
I have no hope for the actual Democratic party of course. They’re controlled opposition at best. It just so happens the progressives caucus with the Ds for now. We really need to abolish FPTP in all states, and implement RCV or approval/score voting, to start moving away from the duopoly, but of course the people in power would never willingly give up power.
“elections”
In many counties, you can drop them off at your library.
My suggestion for anyone voting in the US. Vote early in person if possible. If you are going to vote by mail, do it ASAP.
That’s the best way to get your ballot counted, which is the most important thing right now.
Oh, and check your registration, like today. And tomorrow. And like once a week.
The worst time to vote is election day. Avoid that at all costs.
Also, if your elections department has ballot drop boxes, utilize those rather than send through USPS.
States run voting it’s in the constitution https://constitution.findlaw.com/article1/annotation18.html
The Trump Circus doesn’t know that and even if they did they wouldn’t care
Almost like that recent ruling that people can’t sue the Post Office for shit like this was setting it up…
Hanging is way too good for him.
It forbade the use of “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces or that caused others to view the American government or its institutions with contempt. Those convicted under the act generally received sentences of imprisonment for five to 20 years.[2] The act also allowed the Postmaster General to refuse to deliver mail that met those same standards for punishable speech or opinion. It applied only to times “when the United States is in war”. The U.S. was in a declared state of war at the time of passage, the First World War.[3] The law was repealed on December 13, 1920.[4]
Emphasis mine.
For a voting system that has NOT had ANY significant fraud…yet.
This is evil.
“How 'bout no?”
