Rachel Maddow warns of Trump's ultimate plan to steal the midterm elections Rachel Maddow warned viewers on Monday that President Donald Trump plans to interfere with midterm election results, following the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling against his executive order instructing the US Postal Service (USPS) to block states from distributing and collecting mail-in ballots. Trump’s order, which he signed last March, would’ve directed the USPS to refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to anyone whose information hadn’t been properly submitted to a new state citizenship list maintained by the federal government. “Trump is counting on confusion, uncertainty, and a lack of confidence in the mail-in voting system to suppress voter turnout,” she said.

    TAKE your ballots to a box. DO NOT MAIL if possible.

    Just because the Supreme Court ruled against the post office scheme doesn’t mean you should trust the post office. Do not trust the post office this cycle. If the admin tries to outright grab ballot boxes on the ground, resist, it’s illegal if they do. If the admin tries to claim the election was full of fraud just ignore them they are lying like they always do. The duly elected reps from each state will take command, the current admin can try to stop them but if the people don’t want it they can and should stand up, they should protest, and they should not go to work until they have a government that was certified by the states not the federal government. The constitution gives the states the right to pick the reps, the president can say whatever he wants but even if the states did have fraud it’s not up to him. Period. Obey state officials, resist the feds, this is our last shot to do things peacefully, let’s not fucking waste it!

    What gave it away, the president’s own words over and over about stealing it? Thanks Rachell, don’t know what we would do without you. I seem to recall something with Israel that made me stop listening to you though.

    Amidst everything going on, if people legitimately vote for republicans, the USA gets what it deserves.
