When told that 45 state issued drivers licenses do not meet the requirements of the Bill the GOP House passed, that percent drops well below 50%. It will never pass the Senate anyway, unless they do away with the 60 vote threshold. Which is very unlikely.

FYI
Under federal law, The Help America Vote Act, every state is required to obtain an ID from first time voters, from newly registered voters.
After that initial ID check, States make their own rules.....in my small town we have only a few hundred registered voters, everyone knows everyone and if there are 5 new voters in our area each year they are likely children becoming voting age and not new people moving in to my town. We don't even have any schools for our kids, they get bussed to the town over.
We only have signature match, for existing voters and ID required for new voters. Which suits us just fine, in Maine.
And states with huge populations may choose differently, due to their own circumstance.

The Executive doesn't make the law. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Congress passes legislation to overhaul operations, set policies, and define services, for the USPS, which the President then signs into Law.It's not voting laws, cupcake. It's mail laws.
That IS the Executive. Game. Set. Match.
No more hundreds of votes coming from 1 address that's an empty lot or 1 bedroom apartment.

"The Postal Service is not an election enforcement agency. It is not a substitute for state election administrators, and it is not equipped or authorized to decide who is or is not entitled to vote. Any effort to push USPS into that role risks politicizing one of the nation's most trusted public institutions and threatening public confidence in both the mail and the electoral process."No.

More fundamentally, Hasen emphasized that the proposal misunderstands the constitutional structure of election administration. “The fundamental point is that the Constitution doesn’t give DHS any power over elections,” he said. “The power to run state elections rests with the states. The power to run federal elections rests with the states,” except where Congress chooses to act — and, he noted, “the president is not Congress.”
Trump issues second executive order on elections, giving U.S. Postal Service unprecedented control over mail voting
Much of Trump’s first executive order on elections has been blocked in court. This one, too, is likely to be legally challenged.

You have no idea how this works.
Trump can't do this by EO.
It belongs to Congress and the states.
Opine and whine all you want.

Please document where and when that ever happened.
What was the verdict and sentence when the vote fraudster was convicted?
(A convicted felon recently voted my mail in Florida.)

Concocting excuses for voter suppression requires imagination.

The foundation of democracy is every citizen's right to vote. Concocting barriers that impede that right is unAmerican.
... The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the oldest federal law enforcement agency, is also a key partner, working with other agencies to ensure the secure delivery of election mail. The idea that this process is susceptible to “massive” fraud at a level that could change the outcome of a national election is not supported by any credible evidence. It is a claim that erodes public confidence in a system that is, in fact, remarkably resilient.
This resilience was put to a decisive legal test following the 2020 presidential election. In the weeks and months after the election, a series of lawsuits were filed by the Trump campaign and its allies across several states, alleging widespread fraud and calling for the invalidation of millions of votes. According to an extensive review by the Associated Press, there were approximately 64 such lawsuits filed in federal and state courts. These cases included a wide range of claims, from challenges to ballot-counting procedures and voter access measures to more specific allegations of fraud and illegal voting. However, the legal outcomes were overwhelmingly definitive: of the more than 60 cases, only one minor victory was secured, which did not affect the outcome of the election.
The vast majority of these lawsuits were dismissed or lost in court. Judges at every level, including dozens of appointees by the very same administration, rejected the claims of widespread fraud. Their rulings were not based on political bias, but on a fundamental lack of credible evidence. Plaintiffs failed to provide proof to support their allegations of systemic irregularities or a level of fraud that would have altered the results. In many instances, the lawsuits were voluntarily withdrawn when faced with the judicial requirement to present concrete evidence, rather than mere suspicion or hearsay.
The cumulative findings of these legal challenges reaffirmed that the 2020 election, despite unprecedented challenges presented by the pandemic, was conducted in a manner consistent with the established rules and laws of the states. The court rulings served as a powerful and independent rebuke to the assertions of a “rigged” election and reinforced the integrity of the electoral process.

His is EO is unconstitutional and will be struck down and upheld by SCOTUS.

That's where you're wrong, fuckface.
You'd be better off never trying me on things like that because I will bitchslap the snot out of you.

This isn't voter fraud, but a Weld County duplex with hundreds of registered voters is getting attention. It's tied to a truck driving school.
