Mail-In Voting

Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at restricting mail-in voting, which is expected to face legal challenges, including a potential lawsuit from Democratic lawyer Mark Elias. The order directs the Homeland Security Department and Social Security Administration to create a list of approved absentee voters, with the US Postal Service only sending ballots to those on the list. It also tasks the Attorney General with investigating unauthorized ballot distribution and threatens to withhold federal funds from non-compliant states. Matt expresses uncertainty about the order’s legality and concerns about the administration’s non-legislative achievements, which could be easily reversed by future administrations.
