Stop Trump’s Plan to Take Over Elections
Postal Service Set to Refuse Delivery of Absentee Ballots
Earlier this year, Trump ordered the Postal Service to issue a rule that will place you under surveillance and could prevent you from receiving an absentee ballot in the November election.
Executive Order 14399 requires the Postal Service to set up an illegal scheme for requiring state election offices to turn over the names of absentee voters. If an election office refuses, the Postal Service will not deliver absentee ballots from that office to voters. Furthermore, the order directs other federal departments to prepare “citizenship lists” and prosecute election workers who register persons not on the list.
This is nothing short of the Trump Administration picking who can vote and who can’t.
Trump claims the scheme is to ensure only citizens vote in federal elections. In fact, it is a scheme to suppress Democratic votes in states that like Georgia are swing states and states like California which has universal mail voting.
We know that voter suppression is its purpose because Trump has said he wants Republicans to nationalize elections in 15 states. Among those are swing states he lost in 2020 such as North Carolina, Arizona, Michigan and, of course, Georgia.
This is just the latest example of Trump’s continuing efforts to corrupt elections so that he can stay in power and his lapdog Republican majority in Congress can continue to protect him from accountability.
You can do something about it now.
