President Donald Trump signed an executive order attempting to tighten rules for U.S. elections and threatened funding cuts to states that do not comply.
The order would punish states that count ballots received after Election Day.
It would make significant modifications to voting systems and security standards for voting equipment.
It would also require proof of citizenship for Americans who attempt to register to vote or to update registration information through a federal form. A move blatantly intended to make it harder for eligible voters to vote.
It also mandates that the Social Security commissioner must share federal databases with state and local election officials verifying the eligibility of registered voters and those attempting to register.
And the one that should get every American out in the streets…
It also charges the Department of Homeland Security and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to review state voter registration lists.
All this continues to be predicated on the disproven notion that noncitizens vote in massive numbers in federal elections.
Repeat after me…
Election fraud, including noncitizen voting, is exceptionally rare.
Are you happy with the Trump administration extorting states, telling them he will yank federal funding if they don’t allow his administration, and Elon Musk, to tamper with election processes, voting machines, and voter rolls?
Will you stand by and watch while they takes over federal elections? Or as has been obvious so far in the ‘efficiency’ efforts of DOGE, screw things up to the point of disfunction?
What you will you do when these guys take over USPS and voting by mail becomes a thing of the past?
We the people are sick of trying to do your jobs for you.
