Even as he cast ballots by mail himself and launched messaging campaigns encouraging his supporters to do the same, Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to eliminate mail-in voting altogether, baselessly casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in votes.
Now he appears to be calling for the end of all forms of early voting.
After publicly demanding the prosecution of his political enemies, Trump encouraged the Department of Justice to investigate the outcome of the 2020 presidential election with “gusto” — and signaled that the “biggest SCANDAL in American history” will “happen again” unless the government eliminates early voting.
States rights. Trump can go lick assholes.

Ones with bloody diarrhea
Only the best ones.
But those tend to be consenting adults. I don’t think that’s his thing.
Republican-run states will cave
Good.
This is an old talking point from when conservatives were younger and healthier.
This is cutting their own throats because the Fox News set is getting old AF and tend to vote early and by mail.
Latest reports say he’s looking into changing the constitution to enable a third term, or at least pretending he’ll changed it.
he doesn’t need to, there is a vice president loophole
Sure thing. Make election day a federal holiday and allow for mail in ballots.

Honestly I never understood the push for this. Maybe it’s because I grew up around people who never had federal holidays off. Tons of people still need to work on federal holidays. What makes way more sense to me would be not having a single “Election Day.” Make it Election Week, everywhere, all the time.

All of the above.
Colorado has early voting, mail-in voting, and places to drop off your filled-out ballot.
It’s absolutely beautiful.
If you want to stand in-line the day of, you can do that, too. I’ve done that a few times, many years ago, and I think my longest wait was maybe 15 minutes, but that was out in the burbs, too.
And even then. No.
No early voting! No late voting! No mail-in voting! No black voting! No gay voting! No brown voting! No veterans voting!
Fuck it, only JD Vance votes! Unless he votes for himself, and then it’s massive voter fraud!
Too late. Already voted.
He needs everybody to vote at polling places on the same day so his ICE thugs can round up antifa. They can’t do that if people are voting by mail or voting early.
What I hate so very much is that there is even a chance this asshole’s wishes have influence on how we conduct elections anywhere in this country.
He can go fuck himself.
He doesn’t know that STATES RUN THEIR OWN ELECTIONS apparently. Moron.
My fear is to is to have a single day election they could use national guard or something on blue counties to make it much harder to vote, like make special operations on the day of election and create grid locks on that counties.
People, whoever can. Please don’t mail in vote if possible. They’re sabotaging mail in voting by hurting the post office and sometimes the mail itself. If you can, vote in person
California has very good tools for tracking the status of your ballots. The USPS is also independently funded as a Constitutionally guaranteed service, so it’s relatively safe.
The reason they want to end mail-in and early voting is because it allows them to restrict access, intimidate voters, tamper with equipment, lose ballots, and all manner of other crimes. All voting should be done by mail as it limits their opportunities for engaging in fraud and crime. There is a reason they have been attacking it.
Oh sure, the constitution, that is totally meaningful. Yep. The Trump administration would never violate the constitution.
My point was that they aren’t affected by the government being shut down.
Safe? They’ve been destroying mail machines and slowing service. It’s a “they have already and continue to do” not they might.
Mail in voting allows them to lose ballots. Often even more readily than in person because it doesn’t require election officials being in on it.
Voting by mail is not somehow magically more secure than voting in person.
I opt for the mail-in ballot and then drop it off at my county auditor in-person.
Fuck that guy.
He can demand all he wants, the federal government doesn’t get to decide how elections work.
Well based on how things are going they sure as hell do because there’s no one to stop them When they make moves are they’re illegal or against states rights
The 2020 election claims are how they intend on pushing the third term shit.

No early voting is one step closer to no meaningful voting.
