      >President Donald Trump again attempted to exert control over American elections, signing an executive order Tuesday that aims to create federal lists of citizens and ask the United States Postal Service to only transmit mail ballots to people on those lists.

      >The order asks the Department of Homeland Security to create „state citizenship lists“ from federal citizenship and naturalization records, Social Security records, and other federal databases.

      >Those lists would then be sent to the states to verify their voter rolls, and USPS, who would be asked only to transmit ballots addressed to people on state citizenship lists. It’s unclear how the USPS, a chronically underfunded agency, would absorb the mandate to police election mail as required by the order.

      >Two key players in failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election that Trump lost — Kurt Olsen and Heather Honey — were involved in discussions around the executive order, according to a person familiar with the preparations. Olsen now works as director of election security and integrity at the White House, while Honey works in a senior role at the Department of Homeland Security.

      Geez. I’m sure they aren’t going to use this for nefarious purposes at all.

      You know, i feel like we should hold political parties liable for blatantly illegal nonsense while in power. i feel like hitting them and there for the pocket book of there influencers could really tamp down on all the political noise.

      Somebody needs to invoke an amendment to get rid of this orange piece of shit already.

      The 25th would be less messy but if that doesn’t work…. feel free to finish that thought yourselves. I imply or infer absolutely nothing.

      Not sure he has the juice to actually completely fuck the elections but oh boy he sure is going to try.

      Fascistic thing #69,420 he cannot do.

      Impeach and remove his fucking ass, Congress! What the hell are you idiots waiting for?

      The economy is about to be so bad that his impeachment will be inevitable

      Most of his executive orders might as well be written on toilet paper for all the legal weight they carry. The courts need to put a stop to this one, for sure.

      Not quite… the executive order is meant to cross reference his federal list with state lists. 

      However, most states haven’t given up their voter rolls and the whole idea of cross referencing lists would mean our votes aren’t anonymous and that’s unconstitutional. 

      He’s certainly going to try hard but it could backfire and just make republicans lose even harder. 

      The idea to pull funding from states that don’t comply will probably get shot down too since federal judges shot down a similar scheme from him last year.

      Personally, I switched to early in-person voting. Not that you should have to but, I’m taking no chances and I’m able to vote in-person.

      We chose this when we elected Trump and his party.

      Next time, look through the bullshit and vote Democrat.  Vote for people who try to make this country better, even if they are flawed.  Because that’s way better than handing power to people who want to make you a slave.

      The Republican Party is going to be so toxic before we’re done with Trump. If they fail at cheating, they may never again win the presidency.

      This is way the fuck out of his lane. Any legislator, judicial official, or state politician who accedes to this should be considered an enemy of the state.

    20. MazzIsNoMore on

      I remember when Republicans used to freak out over federal government lists

    21. Difficult-Low5891 on

      He just HAD to do something radical to, AGAIN, distract from the other really shitty things he’s doing.

    22. sircastor on

      One thing I anticipate this will be used for is to arbitrarily remove voters from voter rolls.

      This executive order says „make a list of voters“ and then „We’ll share this list with states so they can check voters against this list“

      What it doesn’t say is that it has to be an accurate list, a complete list, or unbiased in anyway. This could end up being a list of citizen voters who happen to be Republican. And they could (arguably) say that those were the ones they felt sure of. And then maybe they send that list to Georgia or Florida and those states just wholesale clear out voters who aren’t on the list.

      It probably won’t be that overt. They might just take it and apply it to certain voting districts. But you see the potential for abuse. Especially when the GOP is so panicked about losing the midterms.

      He is cutting away at the most fundamental rights this country was founded on… FREE & FAIR elections. What in the actual eff is going on rn with this guy. He must be stopped

    25. bkcarp00 on

      Will help a lot of elections by letting him hand pick who is allowed to vote and not vote. Spoiler alert – lots of people in large cities will suddenly not be allowed to vote

    26. Condyle_1 on

      Executive orders aren’t laws and voting is firmly under the authority of the states. Nice try, pedophile.

    27. Trust-Me-Im-A-Potato on

      Remember when Republicans said we couldn’t have lists of people with guns because the government shouldn’t have lists of citizens?

    29. SaquonBarkkley on

      1. Create federal voter list

      2. Pass the S.A.V.E. act

      3. From the states that hand over voter rolls, declare there are too many „irregularities“ to move forward and voter registrations must be purged so that voters can re-register.

      4. Obstruct married women, poor folks, the homeless, POC, and college students from registering to vote and voting in the numbers they otherwise would.

      One study I saw cited suggested up to 9% of potential voters would be affected.

      Pretty sure the constitution says something about states running elections….. The Child Rapist is a genuine idiot

    31. hickory on

      Fuck this fascist and all his followers for their attempts to dismantle our democracy

    32. Background-Fly130 on

      Good thing it was only written via Sharpie on papers not passed by Congress. Hello Trump fans, just because he pretends to sign some shit, it does not make it law

    33. Zebra971 on

      Yeah, that’s not the way this works, this is a clearly unconstitutional executive order. Dumbest timeline ever. Just noise.

    34. FartyFartsMD on

      Can this orange pedophile get thrown in prison already. People do time for shoplifting makeup and this orange rapist gets away with destroying this country and raping/trafficking kids!
