Die Demokraten klagen, um Trumps Anordnung zur Bekämpfung von Briefwahlzetteln zu blockieren

I feel like they fucked this up by signing it to early.  If they had waited it would have been way harder to fight in time for the election.

There is plenty of time for this to go to court.

Trump being trump

The most telling part is that the order specifically targets the systems that historically serve the most voters while ignoring the actual security of the process. They are framing this as a measure against fraud while simultaneously admitting they just want fewer ballots to count.

Good!

Republicans have been steadily suppressing the vote for years; an effort accelerated in the aftermath of January 6th and by Trump’s ‚big lie“ of a stolen election.

The GOP has seized on this post Jan 6 environment to sow distrust in our elections. They have piggybacked off Trump’s lies of election fraud; tapping into a stockpile of conspiracy theories, lies, and misinformation to dissuade and deceive the public and to carry out a nationwide campaign of disenfranchisement and voter suppression.

Republicans have frequently attacked or have sought to eliminate election procedures/conveniences like early voting, mail in balloting, polling accessibility and extended polling hours, existing ID laws, automatic/same day voting registration, ballot boxes, ranked choice voting, voting rights, standardized election security measures… Ask yourself why!?

They exploit the misinformed and take advantage of the ignorance, the partisanship and the mindless distrust of their voters to give themselves the legal authority to challenge election results while granting their party more power, control and supervision over our election system.

They have the capability now to deny, subvert, legally contest and overturn future elections with near impunity.

Republicans are consolidating power at an alarming rate; abusing their trifecta and their control over state legislatures to give themselves the ultimate say on how maps are drawn; unilaterally deciding who their voters are and not the other way around.

This brazen mid-census redistricting effort would also not be possible without Trump giving himself and his party a license to say f-ck all to democratic norms for the sake of maintaining their grip on power.

On top of all of this, Republicans are trying to scheme their way through the courts to dilute the minority vote by challenging section 2 of the voting Rights Act. A historically significant provision meant to protect marginalized voters from being unfairly sequestered and disenfranchised.

To make matters worse, Trump has been federalizing state troops and deputizing trigger happy and unaccountable ICE thugs in order to centralize authoritarian control over US cities and urban areas; a paramilitary presence he plans to utilize to suppress the vote in upcoming elections.

Republicans have the gall to say they’re „protecting the integrity of elections,“ while making every effort to subvert the vote, purge voter rolls of democrats, deny election results, crudely redraw maps, limit voter participation, make voting more challenging, alter the census in their favor, reshape districts along racial lines, and influence election outcomes.

Other systemic problems impede free and fair elections too. Issues that Republicans deliberately ignore or fail to address properly.

Like foreign election meddling, the awful Citizens United ruling and campaign finance corruption.

If MAGA is truly intent on „protecting election integrity,“ they should focus on the myriad systemic issues that Trump/Republicans are exploiting, instead of obsessing over baseless conspiracy theories.

But Republicans have all but succeeded at using these conspiracy theories to divert attention away from their efforts to erode the democratic process.

They have also been scapegoating immigrants and marginalized communities of people who they urge you to blame the nation’s problems on; including manufactured issues like rampant „voter fraud.“

Turns out, Republicans are the REAL threat to „election integrity.“

Another attempt at avoiding the consequences of his pedophilia and relationship with Epstein.

You know not only are all powers not dictated in the Constitution given to thee States but the US Constitution specifically mentioned voting is the given to the State

Good. Put the pressure on this loser of a president

I live in a mail-in state, and when I return my ballot, I don’t put it in the regular mail. There are ballot boxes all over the city, you just drive up to one and drop your ballot in. It is locked with cameras recording movement. Only ballot workers have access to the box and you can track your ballot online as it goes thru the validation and counting process. I wouldn’t trust the Post Office with my ballot.
