The elephant in the room is him ordering the postal service not to deliver ballots from people not on the federal approved voter list. The postal service isn’t state ran. Trump doesn’t have direct control over who the post master is, but the board that selects the post master is mostly empty seats so I guess he could flood it with sycophants with support from congress and appoint a new post master if this one puts up any resistance.
It also seeks to bar the U.S. Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to those not on each state’s approved list.
Legal experts noted other potential flaws with the order. David Becker, a former Justice Department lawyer who leads the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said the Postal Service is run by a board of governors [not state governors] and the president has no power to tell it what mail it can and cannot deliver.
A spokesperson for USPS said Tuesday the agency will review the order. Trump has sought to bring the independent agency under more presidential control, proposing to fold it under the Commerce Department — whose secretary, Howard Lutnick, was on hand for Tuesday’s signing.
The USPS can be bypassed through strategic and frequent placement of ballot dropboxes. I already didn’t use the postal service after the bullshit Trump tried to pull in 2020. It’s better to use the dropboxes in every way except for one, and in my case it’s only a block to get to the dropbox so it doesn’t even apply.
Look for them to seize these along with mail in ballots not on the approved list. We are going to end up either accepting Republicans after they fix the election or taking action.
Seize them out of the sealed ballot boxes? I mean, maybe, but that’s not what is being referred to here - most states with mail in ballots also have drop boxes that do not require mail.

Yes if people adapt why wouldn’t their strategy adapt
I didn’t say it wouldn’t, I said that it doesn’t apply to this instance. People should have been using the ballot drop boxes all along anyway.
