Ok...#Arkansas Secretary of State #GOP primary #election yesterday just might be an indication of serious slippage in the #MAGA brand.
Bryan Norris, who rejected machine counting of ballots and had the backing of Trump supporters such as former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, lost to State Sen. Kim Hammer who was endorsed by more mainstream GOP office-holders who supported simultaneous machine and hand counted verification.

Trump signs order directing creation of a national voter list, a move already facing lawsuit threats
President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to create a nationwide list of verified eligible voters and to restrict mail-in voting, a move that swiftly drew legal threats from state Democratic officials ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to tighten voting rules by creating a national list of eligible voters and limiting mail ballots. The order signed Tuesday directs the Department of Homeland Security to work with the Social Security Administration on state-by-state voter lists. It also seeks to stop the Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to people not on approved lists. The order calls for adding barcodes on ballot envelopes and threatens to withhold federal funds from states that do not comply. Democratic election officials in Oregon, Arizona, and Maine quickly promised lawsuits and non-compliance. Legal experts also question the order’s constitutionality.
Any move to force changes to #state run #election systems is likely to face immediate #legal challenges.
#Trump claimed only a judge could block the order & complained that there were many "rogue" & "very bad" judges. "I don't see how they can challenge it," he said about the executive order.

The order would use federal #data to help state #election officials verify who is “eligible” to #vote in their jurisdictions. It would also require #AbsenteeBallots to be sent only to voters on each state's “approved” mail-in ballot list & mandate “secure” ballot envelopes with unique tracking barcodes.
