Trump has no power to “decree” that voters must present ID or to end mail-in balloting. But that doesn’t mean he can’t at least try both. Under the Insurrection Act or some other dusty statute, he can declare a state of emergency. Then he can decide that said state permits, nay requires, him to take extraordinary measures. On October 5, say, that might mean outlawing early voting. By October 13, it might mean no mail-in voting. By October 29, a reminder that all voters must present ID to vote. And by Sunday, November 1, two days before the election—an announcement that all these “reasonable” measures have alas failed, and he is now forced, against his will, to postpone the election.
“Yes, of course I will choose the pile of rusty nails dipped in horseshit over the stale sandwich for lunch. As the sandwich is not very appealing, this seems like the logical choice,” said the well-balanced, rationally thinking individual.
The point isn’t to choose the rusty nails, it’s to settle for better than a stale sandwich. I thought that was obvious. You deserve a candidate who actually represents your interests.
Okay sure, definitely a good idea to change the menu, and make it so that there can be more than just 2 options.
But you still have to choose something to eat today.
