Trump Mulls Executive Actions to Curb Voting by Mail

This past spring, President Trump began a full-fledged assault on voting by mail, tweeting, retweeting and railing about massive fraud and rigged elections with scant evidence,” Politico reports.

“Then the Republican apparatus got to work backing up the president.”

“In the weeks since, Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee have taken to the courts dozens of times as part of a $20 million effort to challenge voting rules, including filing their own lawsuits in several battleground states, including Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Nevada. And around the time Trump started musing about delaying the election last week, aides and outside advisers began scrambling to ponder possible executive actions he could take to curb mail-in voting — everything from directing the postal service to not deliver certain ballots to stopping local officials from counting them after Election Day.”

The intention is, simply, he wins no matter what. No holds barred and totally unchecked? Taking control of the process if possible?

In broad daylight. That's not an election, that's a coup.
