Democrats sued Wednesday to block Donald Trump’s latest executive order restricting mail voting, arguing that the U.S. Constitution empowers states and Congress, not the president, to determine who is eligible to vote by mail.
The lawsuit marks the second round of battles over the president’s power to control elections. Trump’s opponents handily won the first round last year, blocking his initial executive order intended to reshape election procedures by convincing multiple federal judges that it was likely unconstitutional.
Trump on Tuesday announced that his administration would compile lists of who is eligible to vote in states and that the U.S. Postal Service would only mail ballots to those who met that criteria. Critics note that there’s little time to comb through voter rolls before ballots start going out for this fall’s elections, in some places as soon as September, and question whether the administration’s list would be reliable.
Does sue have a different meaning in the U.S.? To me, sue means harm was done and recompence is sought.
This is a proactive suit to keep the illegal actions from going into effect and causing irreperable harm.
The post office is a joke, and I’m the only one angry about it it seems. Nevermind for a minute their hacks are helping to steal elections, priority mail parcels, that for lifetimes were delivered anywhere in the country in 2-3 days with few exceptions, now take 7 days, same prices that are still rising, and no one has said a fucking word about it.
Biden didn’t do shit, you all defended his refusing to fix it, as if he couldn’t. Maybe this can’t do attitude is why you fucking lose with your (our) shit candidates? Fucking wake up.
Trump has been gutting funding for the USPS since his first term.
The USPS has been sabotaged since long before president dipshit. Jesus christ.
Yes but Trump has also made big cuts
you aren’t the only one angry, just i feel like i’m yelling at the clouds. two of my grandpas were postal workers (one in the grampolycule, one not. on gods i have too many grampas)
Normally I hate gifs, but this is good.
