Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Trump signed an executive order mandating proof of citizenship to register to vote, requiring mail ballots to be received by Election Day, banning QR codes on ballots, and prohibiting foreign donations in certain elections.

The order faces legal challenges as it faces legal challenges due to the Constitution’s emphasis on state authority in election procedures.

Voting rights groups warn it exceeds presidential authority and could disenfranchise millions of voters lacking citizenship documents.

Legal experts predict court battles over the order’s scope and constitutionality, with prominent voting rights advocates pledging to sue immediately.

prohibiting foreign donations in certain elections.

You mean Russia won't be able to back Cheeto next time around?

"certain elections" is probably defined as "elections where im not participating"

He's basically the enforcement mechanism. He and his lot can take as much foreign money as they want, but if a Democrat gets so much as a dollar from a troop stationed overseas there will be hell to pay.

Where does it say they can't buy $250,000,000 in Trump coins?

No. Look, another article where the answer is no.

Stop sane-washing this shit

Nope, the answer is yes here, because nobody is going to stop him.

Several states are going to sue, since they have ultimate authority on how elections are run. I will eat my fucking hat if this survives even a month

Here we have the pretext for why he wins with 80% of the vote, "we corrected the fraud."

These fascists may be stupid as a box of rocks, but they do think one step ahead.
