Then Congress will have to codify it to make it permanent. I think it has to get 60 votes in the Senate, which might be impossible. We'll see...

I also think the Dems will sue and try to block the EO for as long as possible.

I've been sayin' it ... have I been sayin' it ... (tip o' cap to mon shere) ...

in the immortal words from Bobby Duval, "play ball!"

The constitution pretty clearly states the manner of choosing the president is up to the state legislatures.

He can write all the EOs he wants, doesn’t make them constitutional.

“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress”

Took just over half an hour for Elvis to object. We shall see...6-3...

Put me, stink, shere, bart, GC and ollie on there, and see what you get, lol.

Yep.

Careful what you wish for. This is a center “Right” country and always has been.

Nunya whackadoo’s have changed that.

You can keep Califa, Portlandia and help to Escape from NY.

The rest of us await the unwanted, uninvited, illegal, tax leeches to be rounded up and sent back to their schitholes.

Questionie: why they all be schitholes?

No. Really.

Good. I hope he does it.

Libs cheat for a living. They’ll just have to work harder to do it.

That's not hard to do we do it in Texas every election. Use a computer to log on your vote and then get a paper ballot come out and then place in secure place. Before that, we have to show a photo ID and we don't have anyone telling us that we're not capable of getting one.

Let's see, who is for killing mail-it-ins, going to paper ballots, and requiring voter ID? Repubs...

Who is against mail-it-ins, paper ballots and voter ID? Oh yeah...gee, I wonder why...

Ironic to see Leftists hide behind the very vestiges of freedom they would destroy given the opportunity. These useful idiots would burn the Constitution given the opportunity.

They’ve burnt churches, toppled statues and killed innocent people but want us to make sure our President follows the Constitution.

The Constitution isn’t a buffet. You don’t get to pick and choose what parts you agree with and ignore the parts you don’t.

You just described the evil electronic voting that he wants to get rid of..

Use a ballot marker that prints your paper ballot then put it in a tabulator with a steel bin underneath that counts then stores your ballot. Thats how dominion, smartmatic, etc all work.

The only ones who should be allowed to vote via mail-in (aka absentee) ballot are members of our military, those who live abroad for work (ex-pats due to occupation), and members of government who work in embassies. Everybody else can show up in person and vote using a paper ballot.

No mail-in ballots for anybody except military personnel, government personnel, and those who have to live abroad due to their jobs. (Like those who work in the oil industry who have been transferred to, say, Qatar.)

Let it be so!

Yep. Somehow, according to the left, that's racist. (Even though you need a photo ID to do almost everything else in this country.)

So, using that logic, you are in favor of the Electoral College, right?

I certainly am. (Wait. That wasn't for me, was it? lol)

You shouldn't be able to mail in a ballot without requesting one and have a legitimate documentable reason as to why you need it

This, too. (Though being in the military should go without saying. lol)

I am all for paper (non-mail-in) ballots only, but I do think that the period of time to cast a ballot needs to be longer that a single day. The only exception is out of state/overseas during the voting period (with some kind of proof).

I think it is fair to have a 7 day voting week. Very few people have a 7 day a week job, and even if you have multiple jobs and do work 7 days a week, you can plan in advance to make time to vote if you really want to vote.

Any reason against that is just an excuse.

Hold on now! The EC is racist and penalizes states like NY and California. We need to go to a nationwide pop vote (and that doesn’t count if the Rep wins it because “more people chose not to vote at all so it wasn’t a mandate”)
