.Senator Gary Peters to Postmaster General: "States control their own elections. That's pretty clear in the Constitution. An effort by this administration to nationalize elections and have the federal government having this information is incredibly dangerous precedent."

Sen. Bernie Sanders on President Trump's call to nationalize elections: "The idea that anyone would trust for one minute this guy running an honest election would be beyond comprehension. Not to mention that obviously he has not read the Constitution of the United States, which has states running elections, not the federal government."

The Constitution explicitly grants states the authority to set the time, place, and manner of their own elections. No President has the power to rewrite state election laws by decree, nor to change the laws passed by Congress for federal elections.

‼️ USPS will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration, according to Postmaster General David Steiner. “You are going to make a decision that people cannot vote by mail,” Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.) said. “That’s unacceptable.”

Filed the 78th lawsuit against the Trump admin to protect CO's gold standard of mail ballot elections. USPS can't interfere in our elections because the Constitution is clear - states decide their elections. I'll always fight to protect free & fair elections.

PETERS: Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule? POSTMASTER GENERAL STEINER: No. PETERS: So the proposed rule basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face the consequences of not being able to vote by mail

The U.S. Constitution guarantees the power to set the time, place and manner of elections to the states. But the Trump administration wants to punish the states that don’t comply with the regime. “This is an all-out assault on free and fair elections,” Marc Elias says. Help us fight back:

New York State Attorney General Letitia James has joined a coalition of attorneys general and the governor of Pennsylvania in suing the U.S. Postal Service to block a new rule that would give the agency control over mail-in voting in federal elections. Under the proposal, states would need to collect basic voter information, such as a person's name and home address, and enter it into a federal ballot mail portal before it can be accepted by the mail service. The attorneys general allege the rule illegally interferes with their constitutional authority to administer elections because it allows the USPS to reject mail. "The president of the United States voted by mail," James said in an interview with NY1's Errol Louis (@errollouis.bsky.social). "It is safe, it's secure, it's been used by a number of states and we're too close to the midterm elections for them to implement this rule, and that's why we are in court again seeking an immediate temporary restraining order stopping this chaos and confusion."

#BREAKING: Lawrence: “…how much control of elections does the constitution grant to the president of the United States? Rep Raskin: “ZERO… the constitution vests that power in the states, and then there’s complimentary or supplementary power in Congress to alter the time, place and manner of elections under certain conditions, but neither the states nor Congress gave any power to the president to do it, so the federal court has properly ruled this was nothing but an outrageous POWER GRAB by the president, and he’s got to stay in his lane. His job is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not rewritten and thwarted.” 😳
