The states run their elections, the president has no say in this.

I voted by mail in 2020. It was super easy and convenient - which is why republicans hate it.

He's so dumb. Denouncing mail-in voting cost him in 2020 and they reversed course in 2024. Now they're against it again?
replies:
I think we should make voting mandatory.
If you want to ban mail in ballots, let's make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Because you truly, yet incorrectly, believe that mail in ballots are insecure. Not because you're trying to suppress the votes of people who have a harder time making it to the ballot box.
If you want to prove that you're doing it for the right reasons, instead of the absolutely wicked reasons that you appear to be doing it for, then make voting mandatory at the same time. Make sure that each American gets to the ballot box because they are easily available and quick. Make voter registration automatic and track down every citizen to make sure that their voice is heard.
replies:
Yes yes but what about Esptein files?
Headlines should say "In desperate bid to keep unpopular republicans in the house, Trump attempts to unlawfully ban mail in voting"
It’s because his bestie Putin told him to
replies:
This is garbage. I love mail in voting and refuse to go back.
replies:
Why are politicians allowed to decide on voting rules on their own? In my country these matters are decided by an Electoral Comission, which is composed of public officials, with varied political affiliations. Changes to major rules must be approved by congress by a qualified majority (2/3 I believe).

How about go fuck yourself you orange sack of shit.
replies:
Forging paper ballots is actually much harder than forging electronic ballots. That's why he fights them so much.
He's scared. Simple as. We had him begging Texas to redistrict, now this, he's down in polls... he knows that he'll lose ground next year. A democratic majority in the house or senate would be devastating for him, and that's where things are headed right now.
I feel like this is shooting themselves in the foot a bit. During covid, maybe you could argue Dems were more likely to mail in vote due to there being a pandemic, but now? It's old people doing most of the mail-in votes. Old people are more likely to be Republicans.
replies:
I think we've all accepted that he's "running" for a third term. No one is questioning that part of why he wants to do this. He's going to cheat again and also run for a third term, which is unconstitutional.
The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1951, limits a president to two terms in office. This rule was established following Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four-term presidency. Before this amendment, the two-term tradition was an unwritten rule, set by George Washington when he stepped down after his second term.
replies:
Orrr use mail in voting to decide if the people want more information about Epstein's client.
Would also like the complete list of conflict of interest this president has obviously including the ones we don't already know about.
Once that's done, trial for every single enabler of the orange turd.
The world's sorest LOSER.
States rights preserved to run elections how they see fit amirite
A reminder to our American friends, Trump is a symptom of 30 years of policies, you all had plenty of time to change things.
replies:
OK so does he want to:
- Distract attention
- Corrupt the next election
- something else suiting his needs?
replies:
For people that don't know. Voting by mail is older than the US. In 1775 the continental army wanted to have their votes counted while away. We've had mail in and absentee voting since.
And that's just US history.
Jesus, he’s looking old.
replies:
I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the Russian Federation, and to the Kremlin, for which it stands, one nation, under Putin, for slavery and injustice for all.
Really lends credence to the theory that the last 3 elections were hacked and 2020 was an anomaly due to the high mail in vote not being as easy to manipulate due to hand counting. I'm so glad Trump will fix it so we'll never have to vote again.
replies:
I'll even try to rug the next election to distract from the trump/Epstein files!
He'll try, and he'll fail. Not his purview. Not his to control.
