Trump promised Monday to work to end mail-in voting and said work is already underway on an executive order to ban it before the 2026 midterm elections, although the Constitution does not give him this power.

“We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots,” he said during an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “We’re going to start with an executive order that’s being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail-in ballots.”

    This is just an excuse to pressure weak liberal governments into caving to fascism.

    Trump barks, then Gretchen Whitmer throws up her hands in surrender. And in another two years, it’ll be those stupid disenfranchised voters who just didn’t try hard enough who are to blame.
