What Trump’s attacks on mail-in voting mean for the midterms
The extraordinary danger is that a president who believes he is the law, and the law is him, remains intent on disrupting the electoral process
TL;DR
- The Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's executive order that sought to restrict mail-in ballots.
- Trump's order, which aimed to create a list of ineligible noncitizen voters, was deemed potentially illegal and logistically problematic.
- Trump responded furiously to the ruling, criticizing the Supreme Court justices and continuing to label mail-in ballots as corrupt.
- The article suggests Trump believes he is above the law and is intent on disrupting the electoral process.
- Claims about widespread mail-in voting fraud are largely unsubstantiated, with fraud rates being extremely low.
- A Republican representative, María Elvira Salazar, is distancing herself from Trump's immigration enforcement policies.
- Trump's characterization of North Carolina as a crime-ridden state is contradicted by recent official data showing a decrease in crime.
