President Trump signs EO to crack down on mail-in ballots

[JGalt]

No it wont. The authority to pass voting laws belongs to Congres, not the Executive.

Who the **** are you and why are you not on my ignore list?

You can't even spell "Congress" correctly.

The US House, not President Trump, has passed voting security laws supported by 84% of all Americans but democrats are fighting like hell to keep the Senate from endorsing those very popular common sense laws. Everyday democrats may not understand what is at stake but nearly every elected democrat knows for a fact that voter ID requirements will crush democrats in elections.

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.

Ever notice that the dems are just like the Soviets were when it came to verification.

IMHO any state that does not require voter ID or just mails out ballots without them being requested should not have their election results certified by congress.

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.

Wow. Is that all you got? A spelling snafu.

Please, put me on your list.

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 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.

"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."

Fake addresses are fake addresses, fucktardo. Absolutely within the Post Office purview.

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.
