"Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting ...

The emergency would empower the president to ban mail ballots and voting machines as the vectors of foreign interference ... "

There’s no national emergency exception to Art 1, Sec 4 of the Constitution. States regulate elections unless Congress passes law. That’s why trump desperately wants to pass the save act to suppress voting.

Courts will slap trump down just like they did with his illegal tariffs. https://t.co/3jK3GIjlUK

The Constitution gives STATES power over election law with oversight from CONGRESS. Notice who's missing? The president.

Trump may try to cook up a sham national emergency to try to seize control of elections but it won't stand up to scrutiny. https://t.co/DIqiOp2l87

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.

The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again. https://t.co/gGNpevd9tE

When Twitter is not declaring the end of the Republic, you know the sky is not falling. And that this EO is a nothing burger.
