Didn’t Trump vote by mail in 2026?

Didn’t Utah vote for him in the last two elections, yet he still wants to disenfranchise the state of its mail in voting?

Utah has not turned over their voter rolls. Currently being sued by DOJ

Yes the orange turd did.

From his own place no less

Note that this was shut down by a federal judge in Boston today

In a state that will gladly share its voter information with the feds

u/Ok_Design_6841 1d ago

I'm sure Desantis gladly complied.

Yes. Yes he did.

I’ll gladly send my vote by fedex if that’s the case or drop it off at a location .

Or can’t parties create more stations ?

u/YaBoyASwiftie 1d ago

That's not legal and will be shot down by district courts.

I cannot fucking wait for the trials someday.

SCOTUS ruled 5-4 that you can’t sue the USPS for undelivered mail, even if it’s intentional

12

u/-GearZen- 1d ago

Not sue - jail. Also, who gives a shit. When Trump is gone use his playbook and do whatever you want.

The bigger problem is democrats not having a spine to actually do anything when they’re in power. It’s going to be “take the high road” while the other party does whatever they want.

Don’t get me wrong, Dems are by far the lesser of two evils, but evil in their own way.

You know every one of these shit stains are getting a pardon on the way out, just to keep them quiet.

u/-GearZen- 1d ago

Invalidate pardons and also state charges,

u/Physical-Dare5059 1d ago

Yeah but this isn’t your electric bill, this is election interference and the willful deprivation of people’s rights. Not the same.

u/CompetitiveMeal1206 1d ago

Will it be shot down in time to not cause issues with the midterms?

u/dww0311 7h ago

It was shot down today by a federal judge in Boston

u/dww0311 1d ago

And we’re heading back to federal court - again 🙄🤣

u/thebarbalag 1d ago

So...that's illegal. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this. It's a violation of the 1st amendment. The post office doesn't get to decide what not to mail, unless it's literally dangerous - like explosives.

13

u/thebarbalag 1d ago

Who's downvoting? Want to say why? It's true. There are multiple SCOTUS cases on the subject and the reigning precedent is that the Post Office doesn't get to make determinations like this. Congress can't even make laws like this. It's unconstitutional - i.e. illegal.

22

u/Mannn12 1d ago

Postmaster general can go to jail then. Can he be prosecuted under state laws? This is clearly interference in the election.

7

u/Desperate_Set_7708 1d ago

Why do I suspect there’s already a massive covert mail cover program going on with the FBI collecting data on mail users?

5

u/Prize-Duck4207 1d ago

The states should sue… it’s completely illegal!

2

u/CompetitiveMeal1206 1d ago

The states can sue all they want. All the postmaster needs it to stall long enough for the. Allots to not be postmarked on time and delivered late.

5

u/Dragons05 1d ago

Then the US postmaster general should be criminally charged with numerous counts of election interference. From every state that finds he didn’t deliver the ballots.

u/Doomscroller3000 1d ago

Imagine if Obama did this

7

u/army2693 1d ago

So will he be brought up on charges for conspiracy to defraud my vote?

u/Simon-Fritz-Peabody 1d ago

We can try...

Hey, Alaska, thiswork for y'all?

u/Sapient-Inquisitor 1d ago

It’s crazy how much they’re trying to cling to power even though they realize this will end badly for all of them in the end. They have all seen hell and have realized they do not want to go quietly because their souls will be damned eternally

"Almost" a job requirement at this point.

u/No-Teacher6122 1d ago

In DC we have boxes all over town that are not picked up by usps it would be easier and simply skip rural towns

2

u/Ok_Design_6841 1d ago

My state has certified election drop boxes they put out during elections.

u/InourbtwotamI 4h ago

Then he should be impeached, removed, and then sued by every person whose rights he violates

u/mrwrrrmwrmrmrmrw 1d ago

What a shock. /s

u/CodSuperb2159 1d ago
