‘See you in court. You will lose’: Democrats, voting rights advocates blast Trump's ‘unconstitutional’ mail voting order

Look at what Ohio lawmakers are trying to do: "Backers urge Ohio lawmakers to require absentee voters mail in a copy of their ID" [https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/01/backers-urge-ohio-lawmakers-to-require-absentee-voters-mail-in-a-copy-of-their-id/](https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/01/backers-urge-ohio-lawmakers-to-require-absentee-voters-mail-in-a-copy-of-their-id/)

Can’t states just ignore it? An EO isn’t a law after all.

In the meantime, defy the orders. They are not lawful anyway. Trump doesn't have this authority constitutionally, and certainly not by statute.

I don't understand why 'unconstitutional' is in quotes. It's unconstitutional on its face. >Article I; Section 4: Elections >The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators. It's pretty clear that state legislatures and Congress make election law. Trump can't help but be seditious because he can't be convinced that he isn't the end-all and be-all of American law.

Oh democrats, you sweet summer children. He’s timing the order such that the courts he stacked can delay any appeal until after the vote manipulation is a fait accompli. You’ve clearly learned nothing in the last 10 years.

I'm not sure if will even matter what the courts say. He has ignored the courts plenty of times and controls the post office just like he does ICE. With SCOTUS ruling that we can't sue the postal service what happens if they just refuse to deliver ballots?

Voting by mail should continue after Election Day for as long as it takes to elect Democrats!
