President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive action to overhaul U.S. elections, including requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and demanding that all ballots be received by Election Day. The order calls on states to work with federal agencies to share voter lists and prosecute election crimes. It threatens to pull federal funding from states where election officials don’t comply.

Trump often claims elections are being rigged, even before the results are known, and has waged battles against certain voting methods since he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden and falsely blamed it on widespread fraud.

tries to overhaul elections. This will certainly wind up in court. Every democratic sates AG will be filing suit.

Yet another example of the media normalizing it.

In the courts that he owns. Lmao

They haven’t exactly been kind to him thus far. And I know there’s the whole “how do they enforce their ruling” thing, but there are ways they can. Unfortunately, those aren’t levers you want to be quick to pull. I think they’ll ultimately have to be used, but it’s going to take some time.

Haven't been kind to him? My guy he is a felon walking free who was declared immune from persecution. What MORE kindness do you want ?lmao

It's still a win for Trump. He can ignore the courts like he always does and then throw out votes he doesn't like because they were "illegal".

Watch usps cuts in democratic areas lose every mail in ballot until after election day, assuming mail in ballots aren't illegal before then

Overhauls? More like sabotages, and it isn't going to work. Maybe I shouldn't feel bad for the AP after all if their just going to carry the dictator's fucking jock strap.
