President Donald Trump pledged Monday that he will try to eliminate mail-in voting, after telling Fox News that authoritarian Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with him on the subject during their meeting last week. 

Despite lacking any sort of constitutional power on the matter, Trump declared in a Truth Social post that he would sign an executive order to “help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections,” and attempt to strip states of their independent authority to oversee elections, and is demanding they just do what he tells them to. 

“I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly ‘Inaccurate,’ Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES,” the president wrote, referencing conservatives’ disproven claims and conspiracies regarding voter fraud in the 2020 election, which he lost. 

You can see Trump is well read on the Constitution!

Trump already got his hand slapped by the courts when he tried required ID for voting, the Brennan Law Center wrote...

Today, a federal court issued a ruling in League of Women Voters et. al. v. Trump et. al., temporarily blocking the U.S. Election Assistance Commission from implementing a mandate in the president’s executive order to add a requirement to show a passport or similar document proving citizenship when registering to vote via the federal form. While the case proceeds, this injunction preserves the status quo wherein would-be-voters already affirm under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens on the federal form.

Co-counsel representing the League of Women Voters plaintiffs made the following joint statement in reaction to the preliminary injunction:

“The court’s decision today provides crucial protections for eligible voters, and the organizations that help them register to vote, while the fight continues against this illegal executive order. Millions of U.S. citizens lack easy access to a passport or other documents proving citizenship, and that shouldn’t interfere with their ability to register to vote.

You know Trump's motto, if the courts block you, double-down and f^^k them twice as much again.

“Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do,” he added. “ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING…THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!”

So it is going to be very interesting to see what he does after the court strikes him down!

Here is my guess... he will scream and holler and blame liberal actives judges. His MAGA supporter will blame Supreme Court even through Trump appointed 3 of the judges and it is a 6 to 3 advantage for the conservatives.
