Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.
The precinct problem caused in Dallas and Williamson counties in the TX primary will NOT happen in November. While the parties have unusual power over primaries in TX, they cannot change the process during a general election. These counties will use vote centers in November.
What a gift such a clearly unconstitutional EO would be! Though divorced from legal reality, it would enable the courts to invalidate this power grab well in advance of the election, and confirm the clear limits to fed'l interference in elections.
