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.

    God you are fucking dense. This isn’t about what one fucking voter does. Its about what voters do.

    Stop discouraging people from voting by mail in Hawaii, and if you actually knew what the fuck you were talking about, you would know the damage that you are doing. I don’t fucking believe you in the fucking slightest on your claim you work for the fucking county.

    You need to shut the fuck up about shit you don’t know about fucking haoli. You don’t know fucking shit about how shit works here. You think bruddah in Makaha gonna go stand at Kapolei Hale three fucking hours to fucking vote? You telling westsider they get show up one kine in person, you telling westsider not vote.

    Stop fuckign spreading misinformation.

        No I’m gonna go on fucking election day, when normal fucking people actually do things because they’re normal fucking people and see how fucking long the line is. If it’s a 3 hour wait, then you fuckin delete your account.

        Its fucking irrelevant that people can vote earlier because they don’t. They wait till the last minute and the system doesn’t have capacity to handle in person voting.

        Actual people are imperfect. They don’t plan ahead. They’re busy. Reality is imthat they wait. And can you fucking blame them when your, allegedly, office pulls shit like they did with waters and ozawa in the fourth?

        I talked to easily 2000+ voters canvassing for this primary. It is hard enough to get them to fucking fill out the fucking ballot that got mailed to their house. Introduce even a bit of additional friction and voting participation plummets.
