The United States Constitution clearly says the “Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections … shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.”
Congress has a role, in that the Constitution says it can “make or alter such Regulations.”
But there is no role for the president.
Until today.
Today, Donald "Taco" Trump declared mail-in voting to be an existential threat to democracy. Therefore, he will issue one of his famous "big government" Executive Orders outlawing mail-in ballots.
Trump isn’t saying that Congress should outlaw mail-in voting. Instead, he’s demanding the states “must” get rid of them because he is the President and they are compelled to follow the President's directives.
He has determined that this is “FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.”
The Usual Suspects will be along shortly to explain they are against "States Rights", they have ALWAYS been against "States Rights" and anyone who says differently is a God Damned Liar.
