President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Monday to allow the administration to move forward with implementing a sweeping executive order aimed at mail voting that lower courts blocked in nearly two dozen states — setting up a major elections dispute at the high court months before the midterms.

    So he’s going to to literally dismantle several states’ entire voting systems… 3 months before the election? Possibly less depending on how long this takes?

    I live in Washington and this shit fucking steams the living shit out of me. We have had almost no issues with our voting systems and we don’t have enough in-person voting venues. It’s a crock of shit intended to disenfranchise the whole fucking west coast.

    It’s TOO Close to an Election to CHANGE the Rules! Wait REPUBLICANS want to Change the Rules? It’s NEVER too Close even if People are LITERALLY in Line VOTING!

      Republicans are beyond hypocrisy. We need a new word for their consistently bad faith, disingenuous lies.

      They are basically just human scarecrows with firehoses irrigated up their ass and out their mouthes, violently spewing a never-ending torrent of flaming horseshit.

    God, this guy is SUCH an asshole.

    I love mail-in voting and these fucking idiots intend to ruin it, just like they intend to ruin everything good about this country.

      pretty standard fascism/authoritarianism playbook, we’ve seen this happen at least a dozen times in the 20th century
