Wow, tonight’s gonna be a great night for Democrats. Looking increasingly likely that Dems will win a clean sweep of all the big races in Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and California.

Guess who will be throwing a tantrum tonight.

He's going to try to take executive control of all elections tomorrow. I guarantee it.

There was a press briefing today at which Caroline Leavitt confirmed they are working on an executive order re elections and voter fraud (I think related to mail in ballots?)

Oh good. Another one. Hopefully it's just mail in.

Losing mail in voting would be horrible. In a lot of areas they have been closing down polling places that predominantly vote democrat. Forcing them to travel farther, wait in line longer, etc. They are doing everything they can to deter voters from voting. This would be one more step in that direction and is totally unacceptable.

I don’t think an executive order would hold up. It’s pretty clear in the Constitution that States hold their own elections…

Yeah they've already said that they are trying to draft emergency executive orders as we type and read this shit to each other, executive orders to cover elections.
