  • What do you need to do?

    This EO has all of the legal weight of a blog post.

    Article 4 Section 1

    Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

    The only groups that have power over elections is the State and Congress.

    Trump can draft an EO declaring himself king of mars. He can write anything in an EO, he’s the E. A state can simply ignore it, it has no chance of surviving a motion for a TRO.



  • We have to go to the polls

    This is the way.

    Some people can’t and so the President’s planned disenfranchisement is going to work to an extent. I don’t believe the split favors them by much in the states that matter to the midterms. If only able bodied people voted I think they will still lose.

    The other part of the disenfranchisement campaign, in the SAVE Act, is the requirement to have a bunch of current legal documents or a passport. This law will more strongly affect poor, young and married women voters… all demographics where Trump and Co. poll poorly.

    I don’t think they’re getting the SAVE Act passed by the midterms so the most major hurdle that could possibly happen will be whatever comes out of the Supreme Court. A worst case scenario is that they craft some ruling that can be read in a way to effectively implement the SAVE Act’s strict documentation requirement and disenfranchise the poor/young/married women demographics without needing to pass a law.
