It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État - Infosec.Pub

> Trump has no power to “decree” that voters must present ID or to end mail-in balloting. But that doesn’t mean he can’t at least try both. Under the Insurrection Act or some other dusty statute, he can declare a state of emergency. Then he can decide that said state permits, nay requires, him to take extraordinary measures. On October 5, say, that might mean outlawing early voting. By October 13, it might mean no mail-in voting. By October 29, a reminder that all voters must present ID to vote. And by Sunday, November 1, two days before the election—an announcement that all these “reasonable” measures have alas failed, and he is now forced, against his will, to postpone the election.

Those are to show people that they’re not alone, start conversations, threaten by implication, and show people they can trust each other to act when the time calls them to do so. Not every fight needs to be the decisive victory. But I do understand the frustration. Look to Minneapolis for example of action.
