(22,810 posts)You clearly havent done the math.
1. Not gonna happen, at least nationwide, and not from an Executive Order (note: more Democrats have passports than republicans)
2. State legislatures dont certify elections.
3. While there chicanery afoot in the USPS, the legality of mail in ballots is determined by each state. (Note: seniors, who have the highest turnout rate, and lean Republican, vote by mail more than any other age group)
4. Numerous states have told Pam and Kristi to Fuck Right Off. They dont have the resources to seize voter rolls from every state, and even if they possess the rolls, they cannot purge a single voter from them. Again, that is up to the states
5. There arent enough ICE agents to control every polling place. They will just pick strategic blue districts is also nonsense, as 2024 Trump +20 districts have been swinging 15-30+ points towards Dems in elections over the past year.
6. Yes, that is something to be worried about, but wont stop the Blue Tsunami.
7. Not going to happen. The SAVE cant pass without killing the filibuster, and republicans are terrified to open that Pandoras box. Cant be done via EO either - states are already ignoring numerous EOs on elections.
8. 19 state have already done so, and only a handful currently use it. Not a significant factor in determining the majority control in the midterms
9. Not gonna happen- doing the math is the most important for this question, as they simply dont have the resources to make it happen.
It is critical to never forget this one absolute truth:
Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless
Despite acting with lawless impunity on a daily basis, this administration has been stalled stymied or restrained numerous times over the past year.
