In light of some recent panic over Trump considering an executive order to restrict elections, this was from March 2025. We don’t remember it because the courts blocked it on sight and it went nowhere.

Submission statement: When people end up in a doom cycle of their own making over the exact same things that have happened already, it tends to be exhausting. We need to make an effort to break people out of it. At this point we have seen enough already to know how things go.

I do think its entirely within the realm of reality that vote by mail is going to be severely restricted.
The voter machine stuff in this EO, even if it weren’t unconstitutional, is largely impossible to even implement.

It’s not a doom cycle to notice that they keep *trying* to restrict voting. And they keep *trying* to get it in front of the right judge with the right arguments to make it work.
Just because it didn’t work in the past doesn’t mean it won’t work in the future.
That’s not to say we should throw our hands up in defeat, but rather that we need vigalence and effort to counteract it.
