This is a flat, substabtial interface with the 10th Amendment’s allowance of states to manage and run elections. If a state allows elections such that they aren’t denied on account of race, gender, and people under 18, they can be run however the states deem. Requiring someone to register with the federal government is not a power of Congress

    Colorado has had mail-in voting for years, but I think many people drop off their ballots at the various ballot box locations.

    It’s not clear whether this asshole will be able to fuck with that.

    I hate Republicans so very much. They ruin everything and should never be allowed into office, on any level. I will never forgive the Republican base for what they have done to this country, either.

      He’ll try, but the post office stuff is technically a Congressional type of power since postal roads are Article 1. But, Article 2 lets the executive staff the post office via nomination. Since they’re all in a cult, it makes sense that USPS is doing this, but he technically can’t say what is mail-able.

        USPS likes to think of itself as completely independent. This news hasn’t even hit the organization yet, the fallout will be interesting. I can see finance and their lawyers squawking about the massive amount of lawsuits that could come out of this, as now USPS is the one harming them.
