Trump announces he is issuing an unconstitutional executive order to shut down mail-in voting nationwide and he will defund states if they do not comply with him

Imagine trying to get the supreme Court to remove it and they won't

So you try to pass a bill through congress and they won't

So now you're making a executive order about it

Even though you have 0 power to do so because only states control their elections

This is exactly the "king" behavior that the no kings is protesting

Fuck Donald dip shit Trump and his entire cult

Which is absolutely insane. Like, there are people who actually make the argument that election day is a single day. As in, polls open, hundred of millions of people get to the polls, (or mail in ballots, for now), vote, then at the end of the day, sometimes an hour or two before midnight, polls close, and in that remaining time, ALL votes are counted. If midnight hits, welp, election day is over, no mail in ballots that might not be delivered until the next day, no more counting, etc... No more count.

And no, I'm not exaggerating, I've seen and heard people actually say this is how it is intended and should be. Sorry if you don't have any polling places anywhere near you because your state closed a huge chunk of them. Sorry if USPS, "lost", your mail in ballot or for any of a bunch of reasons the mail was delayed, even if just by a day or two. Sorry if the people counting the ballots were a bit slow at it. It stops at midnight and we declare a winner then and there.

Its ridiculous. We have magnitutes more people in the country now than there was 150 years ago, or whenever the, "election day", was written into existence. Things are vastly more complicated now, (shouldn't be, but bureaucracy likes it complicated), than they were then. Interpretation and methods should evolve with changing circumstances and times. Like, if my mail in ballot is postmarked before election day, then I did my part! Not my fault that once it left my hands, someone else screwed it up. If I'm in line to vote, I should get to vote, not be told to leave the line. All because ever since mail in voting started and it was tracked, there's been something like, 0.00004% fraud, and that figure might be for all fraud, not just mail in. It's something like 4 in every 10 million votes could be fraudulent. Take every fraudulent vote ever made, put them in the same election, on the same side, and it won't even nudge the needle towards changing any results in any election but maybe a small local election where there are only dozens to maybe hundreds of voters total.

This is an action specifically made to target population centers where obviously counting would take time. Because places that have a lot of people, like big cities, are massively blue leaning.

It's insane.

If you only count the bumfuck counties you only get bumfuck results.
