Legal fights over Trump vote-by-mail limits escalate as absentee ballots go out
How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.
Tom S10Also check your voting status with your board of elections.
madlibwasp.bsky.social5I would propose to avoid mail voting at all costs if possible. I fully expect mail ballots to be “lost” or somehow otherwise rejected.
Iputadollariniwinacar5First you gotta GET your ballot
Ron Loutzenhiser3If your jurisdiction has it, use BallotTrax (or similar if there are other options). You can then get verification that your ballot was received and counted. ballottrax.com
trevor.beyond2dont leave 30% of the fight sitting on the couch get 7 other people to also vote who should vote?
ShinLadyAnarki2If possible pick up your ballot at you local Board of Elections and drop if off later in office once done. At this point try to bypass the USPS altogether. Call the BoE to check the process, you may need to do an early ballot application.
Note for North Carolina voters: The GOP board of elections just approved new, restrictive guidelines on mail voters that are likely to lead to counties rejecting more ballots. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

KC Momkin3Different place, but similar question. In 2-5 years (practical reasons Abt who would charge) could the people on the board of elections who voted for this be charged, if they used the color of their office to prevent people from voting? bsky.app/profile/kc-m...
I think we're pretty seriously underrating the fact that the highly fired up and tuned in electorate (i.e. democrats) sees everything going on with mail in voting, decides not to use it, and if there's fuckery it disproportionately affects the GOP vote.
foggydrinker.bsky.social64MAGA: Our coalition is extremely unmotivated to vote so we will make it so that only the most white hot mad segment of the electorate makes it to the polls. I am a genius.
Nied [5'7"]20Yes, but there are several states who are mail vote only (OR for one) & I don't know what happens to them.
Melico4I read an article the other day that suggested that small towns and rural areas would have the hardest time complying with those USPS rules if they are allowed to proceed.
Poe Ghostal2This is something I'm *really* curious about. I wonder if @gelliottmorris.com might consider looking into it.
Jason S1Everything that he does that he thinks is going to screw over Democrats is going to screw up republicans just the same or even more. The Democrats are highly motivated and so are the independents. They're going to make an effort to vote. Some republicans will be blindsided taking it for granted.
Jeff Fecke48I've said before, Democrats are willing to crawl over broken glass to vote this fall, Republicans aren't necessarily motivated to walk ten feet to the mailbox.
Fascism Heckler4Florida Republicans must be sweating

April2Three blue states GET THEIR BALLOTS BY MAIL. Regardless of potential workarounds there's going to be massive disenfranchisement if this shit goes through.
“The American people will vote. We will vote in enormous numbers. We will vote without fear. We will vote with determination. We will vote with defiance. And above all else: we will make damn sure our votes are counted.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/mail-pract...
🇨🇦Stéphane Prévost-Fella1I hope so, sir, and good luck in the midterms. But here we are very skeptical. In Canada, we have difficulty understanding how one portion of your population could invade the Capitol based on a lie, while the other goes to work every morning as if everything were (and still is) just fine. ✌️
Mack Butterfield1Mail voting should be safe and accessible to every eligible voter. But with this administration actively trying to change the rules during an election, I’m not taking chances. If you’re able to vote in person, I would. Make damn sure your vote gets counted.
The Supreme Court majority is obviously dedicated to vote suppression so I suspect that when all is said and done they are going to end vote by mail. And it's all because the greatest sore loser in world history couldn't admit that he lost. It's Caligula level absurdity.
apple431.bsky.social1We are watching Trump take a wrecking ball to the US destroying our history and our natural beauty. He is proving what can be done in less than two years with willing subordinates
sympathizer of many, many different dimensions1I think the real goal is to rig the midterms. Whining about 2020 is the excuse.
The first ballot of the 2026 midterms has been sent out today in Florida, going to a Republican voter in Pasco County. The 2026 midterms are officially underway. Florida Vote-by-Mail 🔴 Republicans: 1 (100%) 🔵 Democrats: 0 (0%) 🟡 Other: 0 (0%)
Democracy Vibe · by NoMAGA3One important distinction: a ballot being mailed is not a vote being cast. The 100–0 split measures the first recipient, not Florida’s electorate.
Derek Prime3There's no coming back from this, it's so over
VoteHub22As the first ballots go out for the 2026 midterms, Democrats lead in enough U.S. Senate polling averages to win 52 seats this November. But six of those leads are within 3 points, meaning Republicans only need to flip two of them to retain control.
Mikey6oh bitch it’s over .. Florida going red ..
Kiba_Ru!6Welp we lost the midterms gg
