Rachel Maddow warned viewers on Monday that President Donald Trump plans to interfere with midterm election results, following the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling against his executive order instructing the US Postal Service (USPS) to block states from distributing and collecting mail-in ballots.

Trump’s order, which he signed last March, would’ve directed the USPS to refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to anyone whose information hadn’t been properly submitted to a new state citizenship list maintained by the federal government.


“Trump is counting on confusion, uncertainty, and a lack of confidence in the mail-in voting system to suppress voter turnout,” she said.

    Bro thats straight from the Honalulu County elections website.

    Im very familiar with their process of accepting ballots. Your mail-in ballots should be received around Oct 16th. Fill it out and submit it to the Voter Service Centers or a Ballot Drop Box by Nov 3rd.

    In reality, people wait until Nov 3rd to vote, but they dont have to wait until the 3rd. Go vote on:

    • Oct 16 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 17 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 18 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 19 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 20 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 21 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 22 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 23 (Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 24 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 25 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 26 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 27 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 28 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 29 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 30 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Oct 31 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Nov 1 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Nov 2 (Voter Service Center + Ballot Drop Box)
    • Nov 3 (lines begin here because people wait)

    Plenty of days to beat the rush.

    Just whatever you do, dont give it to USPS.

      You truly have not one fucking iota of a clue about what the fuck you are talking about.

      If people don’t mail in their ballots here, they simply won’t vote. We’re not built to do in person voting or even significant ballot drop off. You truly need to stfu about shit you don’t understand and stop spreading misinformation.
