    Trump will ban mail ballots. Then change voting laws to allow the fed to make the rules. It will pass. No one will stop it. Then the fed decides everything. Red “waves” etc.

      They’d have to amend the Constitution to take elections away from the states and that’s too high a bar. 2/3rds of the House, 2/3rds of the Senate, and 38 states.

          Well, think of it like this, in order to pass the final hurdle, they would need all 31 of the states that voted for Trump in 2024 + 7 of the 19 states that voted for Harris.

            And what do you think the gerrymandering is all about? That’s the goal. Sure, the west coast 3 may not be on that list, but that leaves 16 who could flip. I know it sounds unlikely now, but how much that has happened this year sounded unlikely several years ago?
