Summary
Trump’s recent executive order on elections includes a provision allowing the DOJ to withhold federal funding from states that do not enter into agreements on election law violations and voter roll maintenance.
Critics argue this exceeds presidential authority and could coerce states into ceding control over election administration.
Experts warn it could undermine state autonomy and lead to punitive funding cuts over routine voter roll maintenance errors.
Legal analysts predict challenges, citing potential overreach and conflict with congressional authority.
Critics argue this exceeds presidential authority…
They seem to… argue a lot of things. If only arguing enacted change.
And…

Were these “legal analysts” 12 year old kids? Because this is something so obvious that all It takes is one to notice it.
I hate the phrase “critics say” when used in the media like this. It’s a mealy-mouthed way of describing what is actually fact and gives credence to the bullshit they’re trying to pull.
YES, I’m so sick of this wording!! It hides how fucking awful the actions being taken are.
This is the beginning of them attempting to take over the entire voting system and turn it into a circus where the winner is whoever they pick
I hate that it’s stuff like this that we have to tell people “I told you so” about.
I’m increasingly getting the impression that this whole ‘union of states’ thing is a bad idea.

So a standard Trump executive order then.
Everything should be left to the states unless it shouldn’t.
And suddenly nobody cared about states rights and the constitution anymore
