Trump an opening to federalize the Wisconsin national guard

It's the primary, and no doubt Covid-related.

I read too quickly. Yes, for the primary, it’s not an issue. I hope he does it for the Presidential election, though.

:: federalize the Wisconsin national guard ::

It may come to that but I see POTUS re-directing the task of his USPS agents (by directive to his newly appointed PmGen) to receive, retain and verify all mail-in ballots (chain-of-custody) and transporting them to polling/counting centers.

The States can conduct elections in any way they see fit.
Yet, the States don’t have “postal service”.
USPS agents are federal marshals and inspectors.
The USPS is a federal agency.
The States, while desiring mail-in ballots, are restricted to using an agency controlled by the Executive.
They may have shot themselves in the foot and possibly allowed the feds to control the election process through the back door.
