Since we don't teach civics in school anymore, I recommend Crash Course's video series on Government & Politics for anyone who wants a refresher.
The best chance for the USA staying together and functioning after this authoritarian era is mercifully over is a reset of #federalism
One important hindrance that has prevented Trump from being the total dictator he wanted to be has been the Constitutional powers still reserved by the states and their governors.
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.

#Trump signs #ExecutiveOrder on #mail #ballots, escalating #election overhaul push
Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday aimed at tightening mail-in voting rules nationwide, including by directing his admin to create a list of confirmed #US #citizens eligible to #vote in each state, & said he did not see how the measure could be challenged.

"Kami telah merompak petroleum anda berdekad-dekad. Sekarang kami jual balik: turunkan sedikit harga untuk anda kerana baru-baru ini Mahkamah Tinggi KK anda mengarahkan kami supaya menyemak semula hak 40% anda yang kami tinggalkan. Ya, zaman sekarang ini kena pandai menutup aib."

Isn't it interesting how, in the last few years, national criminal investigations have served as a check on EU power? Remember the Belgian investigations into MEP Kaili and the College of Europe funding, now France investigates the former head of Frontex.
In US constitutional law this would likely be seen as interference with federal powers, but under EU law, it's a healthy demonstration of EU #federalism, in the spirit of Federalist 51.

Ridiculous
#SCOTUS seems skeptical of allowing #states to accept late-arriving #mail #ballots
In two hours of arguments, the court’s conservative justices appeared mostly skeptical of Mississippi’s defense of its five-day grace period.
