(iii) Proposed provisions specifying that the USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from any individual unless those individuals have been enrolled on a State-specific list described in subsection (b)(iv) of this section with the USPS pursuant to this subsection.
Well thats election interference
remember, every accusation is a confession.
Yeah that’s the point.
All this does for mail voters is require them to get their ballots earlier than usual. There are many reasons to hate Trump but this is not it.
Okay, you know you need your ballot mailed to you right? So what happens when they mail it late??
Nah, it’s pure vote tampering, well-worth hating the Republican administration for. People will forget, people have busy lives, much more than people will decide to send in the ballot early and they know that. As a bonus it would no longer give people a deadline to convene around – will the ballot be delivered in two days? Three? What about a mail delay? Idk how you could see this as anything but despicable thuggery.
It applies to all voters including those for him.
I don’t know what I wrote that indicates I care about who it favors, but that’s not the point. Mail-in voting increases voter turnout, so making mail-in voting harder or less accessible is vote suppression. Vote suppression is bad for democracy. That’s it.
Even if it affected his supporters more than others, it would still be a bad thing. If change is to happen democratically, it needs to be actually democratic (or as democratic as FPTP gets, anyway).
So you think voter suppression is ok, as long as it applies equally to everyone?
No I don’t, however I am pointing out that it disadvantages Trump voters just as much.
And I’m saying that that’s a pretty meaningless observation to make, unless you’re trying to defend voter suppression.
If so, why bother doing it? He didn’t issue a pointless executive order, did he? … Maybe your interpretation is incorrect.
