Trump signs an executive order to create federal voter lists

>President Donald Trump again attempted to exert control over American elections, signing an executive order Tuesday that aims to create federal lists of citizens and ask the United States Postal Service to only transmit mail ballots to people on those lists. >The order asks the Department of Homeland Security to create "state citizenship lists" from federal citizenship and naturalization records, Social Security records, and other federal databases. >Those lists would then be sent to the states to verify their voter rolls, and USPS, who would be asked only to transmit ballots addressed to people on state citizenship lists. It's unclear how the USPS, a chronically underfunded agency, would absorb the mandate to police election mail as required by the order. >Two key players in failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election that Trump lost — Kurt Olsen and Heather Honey — were involved in discussions around the executive order, according to a person familiar with the preparations. Olsen now works as director of election security and integrity at the White House, while Honey works in a senior role at the Department of Homeland Security.

It’s as worthless as the signature on it.

Here we go.

Flagrantly unconstitutional.

Man… pedophiles will do whatever it takes to not go to prison.

1. Create federal voter list 2. Pass the S.A.V.E. act 3. From the states that hand over voter rolls, declare there are too many "irregularities" to move forward and voter registrations must be purged so that voters can re-register. 4. Obstruct married women, poor folks, the homeless, POC, and college students from registering to vote and voting in the numbers they otherwise would. One study I saw cited suggested up to 9% of potential voters would be affected.

Geez. I’m sure they aren’t going to use this for nefarious purposes at all.  (Sarcasm)

Not sure he has the juice to actually completely f*** the elections but oh boy he sure is going to try.

This is way the f*** out of his lane. Any legislator, judicial official, or state politician who accedes to this should be considered an enemy of the state.

Not quite… the executive order is meant to cross reference his federal list with state lists.  However, most states haven’t given up their voter rolls and the whole idea of cross referencing lists would mean our votes aren’t anonymous and that’s unconstitutional.  He’s certainly going to try hard but it could backfire and just make republicans lose even harder.  The idea to pull funding from states that don’t comply will probably get shot down too since federal judges shot down a similar scheme from him last year.  https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/09/election-trump-order-ruling-00721151 Personally, I switched to early in-person voting. Not that you should have to but, I’m taking no chances and I’m able to vote in-person. 

Remember folks, every time you vote for a Republican you support this bullshit.

Fascistic thing #69,420 he cannot do. Impeach and remove his f****** ass, Congress! What the hell are you idiots waiting for?

I remember when Republicans used to freak out over federal government lists

Executive orders aren’t laws and voting is firmly under the authority of the states. Nice try, pedophile.

Most of his executive orders might as well be written on toilet paper for all the legal weight they carry. The courts need to put a stop to this one, for sure.

Remember when Republicans said we couldn't have lists of people with guns because the government shouldn't have lists of citizens?

One thing I anticipate this will be used for is to arbitrarily remove voters from voter rolls. This executive order says "make a list of voters" and then "We'll share this list with states so they can check voters against this list" What it doesn't say is that it has to be an accurate list, a complete list, or unbiased in anyway. This could end up being a list of citizen voters who happen to be Republican. And they could (arguably) say that those were the ones they felt sure of. And then maybe they send that list to Georgia or Florida and those states just wholesale clear out voters who aren't on the list. It probably won't be that overt. They might just take it and apply it to certain voting districts. But you see the potential for abuse. Especially when the GOP is so panicked about losing the midterms.

Will help a lot of elections by letting him hand pick who is allowed to vote and not vote. Spoiler alert - lots of people in large cities will suddenly not be allowed to vote

Can this orange pedophile get thrown in prison already. People do time for shoplifting makeup and this orange rapist gets away with destroying this country and raping/trafficking kids!

We chose this when we elected Trump and his party. Next time, look through the bullshit and vote Democrat.  Vote for people who try to make this country better, even if they are flawed.  Because that’s way better than handing power to people who want to make you a slave.

You know, i feel like we should hold political parties liable for blatantly illegal nonsense while in power. i feel like hitting them and there for the pocket book of there influencers could really tamp down on all the political noise.

Remember, this is the same guy who created fake electors for the 2020 election. So what is he going to try this time when he is even more desperate?

I’m starting to get a little sick of this guy.

1. He can't do that. 2. Those lists will conveniently only really affect blue states and the more purple counties in those states so those seats will flip republican. 3. USPS can't and won't do that. We do not have the funding nor the time to sit there and validate every person 4. F*** this orange piece of shit

To the Republicans out there that rage against "government databases" .....how you feeling about being put in a government database?

He just HAD to do something radical to, AGAIN, distract from the other really shitty things he’s doing.

F*** his executive orders. He doesn't get to rule by fiat.

Yeah, that’s not the way this works, this is a clearly unconstitutional executive order. Dumbest timeline ever. Just noise.

So we don't even care about legality anymore. I mean we knew that already but this is just so blatantly antidemocratic.

Are we still pretending like the solution to this madness is peacefully protesting?

This screams illegal AF.

Huh. That's a weird thing to do if you aren't a dictator. 

Oh wow, look, it’s that thing we told everyone would happen and they told us we’re stupid libs.

Quick. Now watch them cry about how this "has nothing to do with election interference." F****** idiots

He is cutting away at the most fundamental rights this country was founded on... FREE & FAIR elections. What in the actual eff is going on rn with this guy. He must be stopped

Don’t we normally hang traitors?

Pretty sure the constitution says something about states running elections..... The Child Rapist is a genuine idiot

There are state voter lists. We vote in our states.

He can sign all the executive orders he wants. They aren't the law, and states run their own elections.

> "I won three times. I won three times convincingly," he said Tuesday after he signed the order. Then his current claim to authority via occupation of the White House is illegal and every law enforcement officer has an obligation to arrest him, if this is true.

F*** this fascist and all his followers for their attempts to dismantle our democracy

Good thing it was only written via Sharpie on papers not passed by Congress. Hello Trump fans, just because he pretends to sign some shit, it does not make it law

from the party of states rights and small government...

This seems like something that someone who is absolutely terrified of ceding power would do.

*drumroll* Rigging the election!

"You can't say Covid is increasing if you don't test." "You can't count votes if they aren't on OUR premade list" The trump admin. Also don't states control their elections?

Again elections are ran by the states and therefore any voter rolls are state controlled property. An executive order only applies to US government institutions and employees so states do not have to provide any list of voters to the federal government.

Lists... you say?? what about the EPSTEIN LIST?

So desperate to undermine the election any way they can. They must know how popular they are

How f****** embarrassing to have such a low chance of winning the game that you have to rig it. F****** shameful. 

Good lord. The draft is coming, and who do you think is going to be the first round draft picks.  Not maga, that’s for sure. 

EOs are not laws and states need to stop responding to them!

I signed an executive order this morning ordering the release of his c*** and balls

>It's unclear how the USPS, a chronically underfunded agency, would absorb the mandate to police election mail as required by the order. They wouldn't, that's the whole point. The article explains it is unconstitutional, but does not dare put that in the headline. That is how the Constitution is being dismantled, step by step.

It's amazing how much the 'don't tread on me' crowd supports being treaded upon.

This is cool, but a national gun registry is just too much. 🤦

The economy is about to be so bad that his impeachment will be inevitable

"Imagine if a Democrat did this."

Ah yes, the party of "Small Government" and "Less Regulation".

Why did the democrats do this?!?!? /s

The Republican Party is going to be so toxic before we're done with Trump. If they fail at cheating, they may never again win the presidency.

Yeah except states keep their own records, bro. The state of Texas is already being sued by LULAC over something they've tried similar to this, where they sought to purge voter rolls from federal records; but the state already had accurate information about these voters.

How soon can this EO be challenged in court?

Basically going to come after anyone that doesn’t vote for his shitstain Party

White people born here get to vote. That’s their dream. This will be hilariously shut down by the courts and he’ll whine and moan and claim corruption and deep state. And it will probably be a Republican judge that overrules this.

He knows he can’t win unless he cheats

North Dakota doesn't even have voter registration, but I'm willing to bet they're exempt from this requirement. I wonder why that might be?

Tons of bad news today and all the conservative communities don't have a single thread about them lmao

F*** your fiats, b****.

This seems extremely illegal.

Impeach and imprison this sob.

A list of "citizens" compiled and managed by the regime. And a barcode on every envelope and ballot that tells you the registration details of the vote. It didn't pass our legislative branch. But we are stupid for worrying about kings, you say?

Meaningless EO. The President has no power over elections

crickets over on the conservative sub....more proof its a psyop sub and not a real conservative sub

Unconstitutional. Get lost.

We, as a nation, have suffered from a lack of imagination. Trust and believe Trump WILL make every effort to control voting and the counting of votes in ways we have yet to imagine. No amount of "he can't do that" or "he has no authority" will prepare us for what he WILL do. I don't know what specifically we can do to mitigate the shit show he will force us to live through, but I do believe we must NOT fail to imagine the worst.

Can you believe the flag waving motherfuckers who voted for this guy one, two, three times describe themselves as patriots? The absolute dumbest motherfuckers of my lifetime.

Shit will get crazier and crazier and more brazen as we get closer to the election

Sp sick of this crusty kid raping cancer on humanity 

This b****** is clearly getting worried about the midterms and knows he has to rig the elections if he is to have any chance after the midterms. We can’t let that happen.

This would give Republicans free rein to disenfranchise millions of people at will. F*** that.

Trump signs a new obviously illegal executive order... So just another day that ends in 'y'.

Their internal polling must indicate they're going to jail.

Executive order ≠ edict

This shit is legitimately our make or break. This is illegal as f***. Either we stop it dead in its tracks no holds barred, or we let it slide through.

Just as military personnel are required to disobey illegal orders, US citizens should feel a patriotic duty to refuse unconstitutional presidential proclamations, like this one. Any state or federal official that attempts to implement the trump regime directives are violating their oath of office.

This is literally anti-democracy
