Possibly. It’s hard to say. 36 states already have voter ID laws. Mail-in voting is used widely in both red and blue states. It could be a case where he’s ordering something that is either already happening or is utterly unwanted.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Spicy! But potentially very true...

Correct! There are federal regulations, but elections are managed, directed, and funded almost solely at the local, county, and state levels. The feds primarily focus on regulating and governing candidates and campaigns. (Speaking simply.)

He could try, but you'll be relieved to know that very few federal dollars go to administering elections in the US, so he doesn't really have any funding to threaten. Elections are largely paid for through property and sales taxes and other local and state funds.

This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.
Trump declares intention to issue an Executive Order mandating Voter ID for all votes, restricts mail-in voting to exceptions, and insists on paper ballots only.

Seriously, man. Just inject this shit right into my veins.
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

I was in no way expecting to have an emotional reaction to reading what I thought would be yet another article about a faux salt-of-the-earth political contender but here we are and I guess I'm moving to Maine now.
Curse you, @anamariecox.bsky.social for cracking my cynical shell with hope!
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor.
Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social
The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins
Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.
