Kill Box
The Four-Front Plan The Trump Administration Has To End Mail-In Voting Before November
The news broke in pieces before the plan came together.
US Post Master General David Steiner sat across from US senators on Wednesday morning and said directly that if states didn’t hand over private voter data to the federal government, the USPS would not do its job in November, delivering ballots cast by millions of Americans.
At almost the same hour, President Donald Trump cancelled the signing of a landmark housing bill that passed with a veto-proof majority. Instead, Trump is holding the bill hostage to force Senate Republicans to pass the restrictive SAVE America Act. In a presidential one-two punch, he called it a matter of “national emergency.”
Shortly after, a federal judge in Massachusetts barred the Trump administration from enforcing any executive orders surrounding voter citizenship, voter-ID, and mail-in voting. The decision prompted Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to invoke Chief Justice John Roberts by title, signaling the White House was calling on the Supreme Court’s leader to intervene.
Over the course of a few hours, the pieces snapped into place. The contours of a strategy took shape. The outlines of the White House's four-front, coordinated campaign to put mail-in voting in a proverbial kill box before November.
These are those plans.
