Obliged. Enlightened. Corrected. Thank you.
Frankly, from my safe distance of the low budget side of the puddle, that significant distinction was missed. 
My pleasure!!
It could be even worse, depending on whether you are anywhere near a courthouse, whether there are more courthouses than polling places or less, what the hours to pick up the ballots would be etc.
Having now seen a draft of the order, I’m increasingly confident that there’s no way it would stand up in court - among other things, it voids all current voter registrations nationwide and requires all voters to reregister in person, requires mail-in ballots to be notarized, bans dropoff boxes, requires all ballots to be filled out by hand, and purports to override the Voting Rights Act and Help America Vote Act.
The only thing that surprised me was the date, April 12, 2025. Not sure why. Guess I thought it would have been something more recent.
Late: The metadata says it was created on April 15, 2025. So definitely it existed prior, not sure if prior to April 12 or earlier.
Stand up in court? I don’t see how some of that stuff can even be accomplished in the amount of time available.
I think he’s telling the truth this time, at least for 2026.
As Drum_God just said, it is too late. Three state primaries are next Tuesday.
And because DJT rules by decree, control of Congress is not as important for him as it would be for a normie president. He’ll save his big time cheating push for 2028 (and/or January 6, 2029).
Yeah. It’s unfeasible and unenforceable. This is apparently the idea of the same guy who told Trump he could pardon Tina Peters for a state crime, so that’s not surprising. If he actually issues an order declaring that all voter registrations are void and have to be reapplied for in person, I imagine even the deepest red states would tell him “We’re not doing that”.
Ha. I live in Texas. Ever heard of Ken Paxton?
Even with the current situation, millions of Texas voters (including me) did not receive their 2026-27 voter registration cards in time for the 2026 primary elections, going on now. Fortunately, the Texas voter card is not one of the seven forms of identification required to be presented at the time of voting.
I mean, even from a practical sense, I imagine that whatever agency handles voter registrations in Texas doesn’t have the manpower to accomodate tens of millions of people suddenly needing to reregister all at once.
I know what you mean. Just look back at all those months of finagling, paperwork, court cases and debates, all that fighting with Congress, all that shit before he finally gave up on that silly idea of tearing down the East Wing of the White House itself just to put in a ballroom.
Trump’s not the one who would have to deal with paperwork.
The states do.
Does the state of Texas want to deal with re-registering tens of millions of voters in-person and by hand, and spend the money necessary for such a project, for the purpose of making Donald Trump happy?
Nope. The USPS does not have to deliver mail to the correct address.
Court holds that U.S. Postal Service can’t be sued over intentionally misdelivered mail
“You are not allowed to sue the Post Office” != “the president can ordsr the Post Office to not deliver election mail”.
Then who has standing to bring a court case if the USPS worker throws your election mail into the garbage because you live in an area that votes predominantly for the D candidate?
How many USPS workers do you suppose are willing to risk prison time in this scenario?
Well, the supreme court has ruled that postal workers do not have to deliver anything, even if their reasoning is that they don’t like uppity black women who own too much property.
So I don’t think any jail time will be in their future.
They did not rule any such thing. They ruled that federal law shields the Post Office from lawsuits.
It depends on what the postal workers’ perceptions are. If, like ICE, they’ve been led to believe that they’re safe from pesky things like laws, they may not look any deeper.
I don’t think they’ve got that impression.
