(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
My state ONLY votes by mail, all of Washington state, the state that has shifted the least towards the right of all the states, will have their votes removed.
No taxation without representation - if they won’t send us ballots we should withhold all federal taxes
I've voted 5 times now and every single time was by mail. Taking away the right to vote by mail would be taking away the right to vote of probably millions.
While I agree that this is what they are doing. I think it is important to get the talking points correct since they are trying to sneak this in though legal processes.
Their argument is that they aren't taking away mail in voting. But that the federal government controls mail in voting, and not the state since the USPS is a federal agency that handles mail-in ballots. So they want the states to conform to new and future federal requirements and submit all voter data that the federal government requests. If that is not done they will refuse to handle that sates's ballots.
This is federal interference in state elections. And the premise that the regime is using is a lie.
That's the point.
There's no way this is constitutional
The supreme court has entered the chat
When has law stopped fascists?
How are they going to know if it's a ballot or not? I'll just send certified mail to my election authority and if it doesn't get delivered I'll file a mail fraud complaint and sue the USPS.
I think they'll be fine with that, your vote didn't get counted and they'll deal with the rest later
I'll still go vote in person, just send an empty envelope that says ballot on it or something. Then it wouldn't fall under the order because it's not a ballot and not delivering it would be a federal offence.
