    The actual details are bonkers

    According to the Daily Caller, the executive order would require the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. DHS would undertake the effort with the Social Security Administration, the Daily Caller wrote, citing a White House fact sheet.

    The U.S. Postal Service would then be required under the order to only send mail-in ballots to voters who appear on the list, according to the Daily Caller. Election authorities in each state typically send out mail ballots to voters, not the Postal Service.

    Aside from being blatantly illegal, I bet if you dig into this you will find that the contracts have been given to all of Musk’s friends, using all the SSA data they stole

      Isn’t USPS set to collapse very soon? I was surprised when I got a flyer in the mail they were hiring. I live in a state that ONLY does mail in voting too so I’m double confused/worried about this

        My local usps has had a broken front window for about 6 months. It’s covered with plywood with no signs of planned repair.

        The building was broken into about 2 months ago and a number of PO Boxes were severely damaged.

        They want to kill off everything except police enforcement.
