Trump has put pressure on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a measure that would require photo identification and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote.
Let’s stop enabling him with headlines. He didn’t “sign an executive order limiting mail-in voting,” because executive orders can’t legally do that. He attempted to limit mail-in voting with an executive order. Stop granting the premise. If it works, it won’t be because of an EO, it’ll be because the USPS broke the law. Trump’s power requires others to treat it as absolute. We’ve got to stop agreeing to do so.
He’s signed a lot of EOs that weren’t legal, but they take time to go through the courts and be disqualified. He just needs this one to last until arpund November’s elections, so he doesnt care if its illegal or not, its just a delay tactic to help the Republicans during this election cycle.

Yes, and that’s what I mean. If we accept that his EO has the force of law, we are making it more likely that it will be effective as one.
