2020

2020-05-27 Trump tweeted out that social media silenced Republicans. In that same tweet, Trump threatened to “strongly regulate or close them down” and started the conversation about totally eliminating mail-in ballots. He wrote, “Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that…happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-in Ballots take root in our country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery, and theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!”.

2026

2026-03-31 Trump signed an Executive Order to force a federal voter list. It instructs DHS to gather a list of voters in each state and have the USPS transmit ballots ONLY to persons enrolled in the list. It forces nationalizing voting, puts the postal service in the role of an election enforcement agency, creates a huge financial strain, challenges the Constitution, complicates mail-in ballots and forces the case to eliminate mail-in ballots (a third of US voters use mail-in ballots). It’s just another GOP attempt to suppress and interfere with votes. There has been no proof of voter fraud. The GOP simply wants to tamper with results because they can’t win a fair election and they have no integrity.
