he doesn’t care what the constitution says. i don’t even think he actually expects to get rid of mail-in ballots. he’s just setting the stage for claiming election fraud after the midterms
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

the constitution doesn't give him the power to do a lot of the things he's already done, so how will this be any different?
spoiler: it won't.

Thank you. He doesn’t give a shit about the constitution, and just about every Republican in Congress is going to pick him over it. He does whatever he wants.
“The constitution won’t let him!”
Get bent. There is nothing to enforce the laws, so he gets away with everything.

He is looking for a way to cancel the election.

Trump won the House, Senate and Presidency in November. Where was the fraud then??

Yeah this tracks. I have this theory that Stephen Miller is really at the helm and Trump is just sort of his puppet. Could be wrong but might not be. I am not entirely sure if Trump has any idea what is going on.

Yep. Pretext. The fountain of lies to establish distrust and foment division and hate and violence from his cult. It’s what he obviously did for 2020–his entire campaign he complained about made up future election fraud. IMHO that’s why it’s important to immediately refute every lie loudly.

Donald Trump’s claim that states are “merely agents” of the federal government in elections isn’t just bluster—it collides with the Constitution. The presidency has no such power, and protecting democracy means drawing the line where the framers did.
