Strategy: How Trump may preserve and protect the Federal Election process in 2020 and beyond
October surprise:
President Trump issues an E.O. requiring Voter ID for Federal Elections. There's the instant end to all the Mail-in ballot non-sense.
Next, post at least one armed, National Guard member in full gear at every polling place in the US and have an ICE Agent on call. Protection of all voters is therefore assured. (e.g., No more Blank Panthers with clubs at Philadelphia polling places)
Issuing such an E.O. like this would cause Dems to judge shop and impose an injunction, but President Trump would ram it straight up the United States Supreme Court (USSC) on an emergency hearing, due to the shortness of time before the election.
It might actually be law right now (I am not a lawyer), but have President Trump declare that all polling places involved in Federal elections are surrogate Federal facilities, for the time of polling, because they are handling Federal documentation for a Federal election, where Federal Electors are selected per Amendment XII
An official government issued ID will be required to enter the surrogate Federal facility for the time that ballots remain at the polling location. This is literally Voter ID. After the polls close, the ballots are remanded to Federal custody, and ferried to a Federally secured location accompanied by the National Guard member(s) already stationed at the polling place.
Since the USSC building and Federal polling places are each deemed to be Federal facilities under the protection and control of routine Federal facility access practices, there would be a seamless solution to which USSC could not object either conceptually and legally.
The USSC would have to acknowledge that entry to the USSC requires a Federal ID as does entrance to every other Federal Building.
Federal Property Law and Legal Definition:
20 USCS § 107e defines federal property as any building, land, or other real property owned, leased, or occupied by any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States (including the Department of Defense and the United States Postal Service), or any other instrumentality wholly owned by the United States, or by any department or agency of the District of Columbia or any territory or possession of the United States.
Theory: Could polling places used in Federal Elections be considered to be occupied by department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States, such as the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division, for instance?
The Civil Rights Division of DOJ is vested with assuring that the voting rights of citizens are upheld, and it is the division to which voting right civil rights complaints may be filed. In essence the DOJ would supervise a Federal election as it deputizes the polling place for temporarily housing a division of local Civil Rights Division units of the DOJ.
Some have expressed fear that one is Federalizing an election by intervening in "States rights". This is not what is being proposed.
Article 1, Section 4. "The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; States choose times, places, and manner, but if deemed by the Administrative authority of the Executive Branch to be incompetent of administering a safe and fair election space and process, the Supremacy clause may be called upon to rectify the situation.
In order to oppose my Strategy of turning polling places into temporary DOJ satellite Depts of Civil Rights for federal building controlled entrance (i.e., voter ID) purposes, the House would have to pass a law saying the Dept of DOJ may not under any circumstance relating to protecting the integrity of elections take occupancy of a polling place. The Senate would have to pass it and President would have to sign it. Not happening in an October surprise.
Again, one is not Federalizing an election at all. One is preserving the federally guaranteed Civil Rights of voters, which the Federal government has an obligation and authority under Voting Rights Act to enforce when states fail to enforce such rights. Consider the host of Voting Rights/Civil Rights cases the USSC has already ruled on particularly in the South where polls in some states had to come under special protection and Federal supervision. There is some precedent already.
A National Emergency could be declared to enforce such a mandate since Trump was investigated endlessly for falsely alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The Dems and the media have already effectively made the case for a National Emergency declaration! To assure no foreign interference in a US election is ever suspected again, make evidence already acquired (e.g., foreign funding of BLM and Antifa by Soros and China) as the part of the basis for declaring a National Emergency on a National Security basis.
It is actually based in the same logic promoted by the Dems, corrupt media, and the Muller Report for 3.5 years how could anyone oppose declaring a National Emergency for National Security purposes of protection of Americans Civil Rights, as well as stationing a National Guard security presence to protect Americans at the voting booth from the threats of violence posed by agents of those funded by foreign sources?
Valid government issued IDs are needed for just about anything. It is not that the US has to issue everyone an ID in October. Anyone who drives a car has one. Anyone with a bank account has one. Anyone receiving a Welfare Check has one. The hurdle for all voters to meet the valid gov't issued ID requirement is not that high.
THIS JUST IN: Trump is taking NV to court for Governor's EO making Mail-in ballots the norm, side-stepping Secy of State and Dept. of Elections -- process reports to the Governor directly. Governor declared a state of emergency to do this.
Well lookee that: State of Emergency declared, Executive order over-rides traditional "administrative" aspect of election, Voting practice policy changed with the scribble of a pen. Hmmmm.
Trump "trumps" this action using Supremacy clause with a Federal EO that not only requires Voter ID, but invalidates Mail-in voting everywhere across the board, again as an electoral Civil Rights enforcement issue -- one has no provenance for Mail-in votes. The civil rights of those casting legitimate ballots is offended with Mail-in ballots which have no provenance.
Its about time the GOP thought outside the box. We will never win again if we dont.
FReegards!
