Sorry, Dave, you can’t do that: Federal judge protects vote-at-home, state voter rolls from Trump and his Postmaster General
A federal judge in Massachusetts has halted Donald Trump's efforts to control mail-in voting by enjoining the U.S. Postal Service from refusing to mail ballots if states don't give their voter rolls to his regime. The ruling emphasized that states have the constitutional authority to manage elections, and overturned several sections of Trump's executive order deemed unconstitutional and void. Sorry, Dave, you can’t do that: Federal judge protects vote-at-home, state voter rolls from Trump and his Postmaster General is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.
