Arizona Sec. of State Adrian Fontes tells Democracy Docket: "[I]t looks like the Trump administration, through this order, is setting up a scenario that will be impossible to meet. I think they want to cancel the 2026 elections...a very, very serious problem for the USA."

They will make sure that there will not be a midterm election. Period. That is why they don't seem to take about what the voters think about what they are doing now.

I hope the chance it gets challenged is more than likely. I have a disabled adult child that requires full time care. It already causes me problems with my job with FMLA documented. There is no way I could disappear for hours to vote in person.

"...the order would punish states that count ballots received after Election Day..." I'm an expat absentee NY voter. Overseas civilian & military ballots must be postmarked by election day, are always accepted 10-14 days AFTER that date. He'd disenfranchise us. STATES administer elections—NOT POTUS

We need to coordinate a legal assault on this administration. Samp the court system with challenges and lawsuits. Change and control the narrative. We’ve been passively let this administration dismantle this country for long enough.

Let's get original: 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.

He can get rid of the Electoral College. He better not touch anything else. From a court case POV, 1 1/2 yrs is not much time to challenge & get results. Most will be due to discrimination! ¡Viva DEI! I'm disabled & can't stand in line for hours. I need an absentee ballot, & Trump hates them!

Everyone thinking that we will make it to the mid-terms is gravely mistaken - remember when he told the Christians, during his campaign, that they wouldn’t have to vote again after this election? THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT

I live in Ohio where our Secretary of State is MAGA. He will undoubtedly comply, and undoubtedly provide voting records too, so that Muskolini and the Orange Menace can target Ohio Democrats. Good times. 🤦‍♀️

Start breaking the rules like they do!

🧵 (THREAD) Why is this country in such deep shit? Because most elected Democrats refuse to break the rules. MAGA started a war against this country and Dems are more concerned about decorum and norms than any attempt to fight this war. We can't win this war when we don't acknowledge we are in one.

The 2026 elections will be the most important in American history. Those who advocate for democracy in America need to show up at the polls and vote out every R at every level around the country (state & federal), so that the election of 2028 can be protected. Else 2028 will be stolen by Trump.

He will do everything in his power to invalidate the 2026 mid-terms. Also- not a single republican that loses will be permitted to concede. Every lever of gov’t will be brought to bear to insure that the Dems cannot control the House.

Honestly, how can anyone not see similarities with dictatorship, control by threats and censorship, take on those that are non-white-blue-eyed? This all has markings of early fascism. And nobody stands up to this..

This guy HAS got to go! He is not doing one thing good for the people of this country! His only agenda is taking away our rights and using the Justice Department & his Executive orders to benefit him and his authoritarian aspirations & destroying this country as we know it!

I find myself thinking that there is a spreadsheet in the Whitehouse w a whole list of (already drafted 2025 inspired EOs) that Temu Goebbels (Miller) and Susie Wiles pick from when they need to disrupt or distract (e.g., the Signal scandal). “Let’s pull up number 79 guys! That oughta do it.”

What if we all just collectively stopped giving any attention to these EOs. Let’s call them what they are, scribbles and rants of a once powerful old man with dementia. “Okay grandpa, you go ahead and rewrite the constitution, we will let everyone know to go ahead and do exactly what you say. Night”

He is controlling these EO's for when he needs to distract from negative press. The poor economy, plummeting consumer confidence and now a major security breach. The king of destruction.

There won’t be another election, guys. They will try this route and it if doesn’t succeed, they will invoke the emergency act over a burning cybertruck and seize all levers of power.
