The God Emperor wannabe issues another statement of non-existent constitutional authority trying to usurp even more power.

Elections are run at the state and local level. The federal executive has no authority to issue unilateral orders changing anything to do with the election.

How long are elected Rs going to put up with this nonsense? The guy clearly is quaking with fear at having a free and fair election administered under the rules that have always governed our elections, which again, are made locally by local election boards, with oversight from state offices.

About the funniest thing that can happen on this forum, is one of our resident liberal fanatics whining that somebody else didn't obey the Constitution.

Another deflection ignoring this POTUS's unconstitutional policy position simply because he is an R. Something tells me you would be singing a different tune if a D were in office.

Administration still looking for a way to game the voting system. It worked before, so it just might work this time.

They won't do anything. The GOP thinks the constitution is toilet paper

You were about to point out where I approved of such an EO, weren't you? Or are you just blowing smoke?

You might want to stop listening to those voices in your head. They make you look foolish, time and again.

It's all part of the Party of Trump's (formerly known as the GOP) playbook. Suppress the vote by closing polling places in minority neighborhoods, purge eligible voters from the books, take away early voting to make it more difficult to vote. And now we have a president who will attempt to shut down the Post Office to keep people from voting.

They are always, always looking for ways to keep voters from the polls.

This is just more of the same from this party. It's their number one, go-to strategy to assure that many people never get to vote. It's the only way they can stay in power.

If this is a bridge too far even for you, then I applaud you for that.
