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.

    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.

      Don’t take it personal. He wants to ruin all voting, this is just the one thing he can’t use his personal army to ruin. So he needs help from the courts.

    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.

    Jesus Christ.

    He shouldn’t even be talking to the supreme court at all! That in and of itself should be grounds to arrest him!

    In my state we vote 100% by paper mail-in ballot and it is one of the most secure, traceable, and fraud-resistant ways you could possibly do it. And it’s vastly more fair than in person voting for the disabled, elderly, homebound, just to name a few. Repubs will whine about machines not having a proper paper trail and then shit on literally the most auditable, paper-trail-ful possible way of doing things, which is universal mail-in ballots. I’ve never heard one person here, of any political side, say that they’d rather have a touchscreen backed up by god knows what quality of software in a booth someplace they have to drive to on one certain day so they can stand in line for hours and cross their fingers that their vote registers the way they meant it to.
