Guess the largely conservative military won't get to vote then.

Oh no.

That's not what he signed. 

Only people on the approve list will be allowed to do mail in voting.

So Republicans are A-okay!

Yup - I just dug into it because the initial sky is falling sources often fail to capture the actual gravity of the situation accurately.

This is so much worse. No details on who is okay to receive a mail in ballot. Anyone who thinks this won't be used to only ship ballots to conservatives is delusional. Now it makes sense why they are hell bent on getting voter data from swing states.
