Rachel Maddow warned viewers on Monday that President Donald Trump plans to interfere with midterm election results, following the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling against his executive order instructing the US Postal Service (USPS) to block states from distributing and collecting mail-in ballots.

Trump’s order, which he signed last March, would’ve directed the USPS to refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to anyone whose information hadn’t been properly submitted to a new state citizenship list maintained by the federal government.


“Trump is counting on confusion, uncertainty, and a lack of confidence in the mail-in voting system to suppress voter turnout,” she said.

    What gave it away, the president’s own words over and over about stealing it?

    Thanks Rachell, don’t know what we would do without you.

    I seem to recall something with Israel that made me stop listening to you though.

      The general public arent paying nearly as much attention, so yeah, literally as many voices as possible shouting the warning. Take a hike with the shitsnark.

        Trump said before he was elected in 2016 that if he didn’t win re-election, he would challenge the results. Then he did exactly that. The dude has already openly committed a coup.

        At this point, if the public isn’t paying attention, it’s because the political system is clearly fully committed to letting Trump do whatever he wants.
