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.

    So because the filthy evil vile people who are not part of team Republican and won’t willingly vote against their best interests, Republicans have spent decades making it hard to vote. For example this round of Republican fuckery, Despite Trump literally mailing his vote in, Republicans fearing lots of Democratic votes via mail in voting, hoping those voter just won’t be able to vote…wether because they physically manage to travel or too few places to vote…

    Republicans tend to try to make it harder/illegal to stop them instead of trying to run on policies people would willingly vote for.
