The actual details are bonkers

According to the Daily Caller, the executive order would require the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. DHS would undertake the effort with the Social Security Administration, the Daily Caller wrote, citing a White House fact sheet.

The U.S. Postal Service would then be required under the order to only send mail-in ballots to voters who appear on the list, according to the Daily Caller. Election authorities in each state typically send out mail ballots to voters, not the Postal Service.

Aside from being blatantly illegal, I bet if you dig into this you will find that the contracts have been given to all of Musk's friends, using all the SSA data they stole

Bitch, YOU just voted by mail!

How 'bout them states rights? And small government? Lol

Trump has told Republicans that they will lose the November midterm elections if they don't pass the bill and crack down on mail-in voting.

You know, any normal person might take such confidence that they'll lose an election as a sign that maybe they're doing the wrong things.

The notion that any aspect of a presidential election can be regulated through executive orders by the current sitting president would be laughed out of the room in any halfway functional democracy.

Might as well do away with the charade and call them royal decrees

Good thing the constitution leaves it the states to conduct elections, not the federal government.

He needs his throat slit

What was that about states rights again?

Plainly unconstitutional:

Yeah. That’s not how Executive Orders work.

Republicans will lose so thoroughly in November that any attempt at casting doubt on the results of elections will be laughable, no matter the states propensity to vote Republican. We've already seen areas that went to tRump in 2024 by, like 23pts, go to Democrat candidates by a similar margin. That's a -40pt swing in some tRump country elections. That's not poling. Those are special election results.

I think the war he started is only going to intensify the swing by then. At least that's the hope-ium I'm snorting off the toilet seat of this current timeline. In actuality, November will be the last hope for this dying republic and how far gone 1/3 of the population appears to be.

All I know is every reporter that can put questions to tRump need to relentlessly call him out for his mail-in voting, his family's mail-in voting, and reduce any attempt by Faux 'News' to clip positive soundbites, impossible. Drive down into the states rights thought and hit back at Republican voters and candidates with their own arguments. Not to shame or berate them on their past voting choices, but to side with them against any Republican betraying the principles they claim to espouse.

If we successfully vote in a super majority, we must relentlessly canvass communities and hound our reps to demand a change to the whole first-past-the-post method of voting. A lot of our political frustrations can be abated locally, all the way up to national, with this change! If they refuse to support it in any capacity, run progressive candidates to challenge these measured-opposition Democrats and forcefully remove the do-nothing Schumer's of this rotted party/system. No more capitulation to a party. No more hemming and hawing after they're sworn in. Nothing else can be fixed until we replace the system that's used to pick our elected leaders and we have given them ample opportunities to save this country and the party.

An EO that's worth less, legally, than the paper it's written on. If the states fight it.

Let's stop enabling him with headlines. He didn't "sign an executive order limiting mail-in voting," because executive orders can't legally do that. He attempted to limit mail-in voting with an executive order. Stop granting the premise. If it works, it won't be because of an EO, it'll be because the USPS broke the law. Trump's power requires others to treat it as absolute. We've got to stop agreeing to do so.

It's comforting in some ways to see Trump make these desperate moves. It really shows the pressure is taking a toll on him and Republicans know it too.

Remember everyone, since voting won't magically fix everything that means it's worthless! That's why Republicans are trying so hard to suppress voters. For.... Reasons! /S

Struck down by a court in 5... 4... 3...

The ballot drop boxes are not affected and can be used instead.
