Weeks before Americans begin voting in the midterm elections, the Trump administration wants to change the rules for voting by mail before the courts have even decided whether the president has the authority to do so. Two federal courts have already concluded that key parts of President Trump’s mail-ballot executive order cannot take effect while the litigation proceeds.
Now, the administration is asking the Supreme Court to set those rulings aside and allow the order to take effect anyway. If it succeeds, the rules governing how millions of Americans vote by mail could change just weeks before Election Day. And the agency charged with delivering those ballots is being run by a postmaster general, David Steiner, who has refused to answer for his own role in this fight — which is why I believe he should be removed...

And this is why I love Trump. Can anyone imagine George Bush or John McCain or Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush changing the rules before an election? Trump is doing to the Dems what the Dems do to the GOP over and over and over. And all the Republicans used to do was cry about how unfair it was. No one listened and the Republicans lost over and over. Donald Trump doesn't put up with that BS. He is changing the rules to win. And who is crying now? This b___tch in this article. LOL.
GWB would still be counting votes in FL.
He still has no idea what is going on.
I don’t see it as changing the rules. I see it as making it easier to enforce the rules.

And be deported
I was expecting a Downfall parody video.
When does equal protection enter into the picture? Why should your ability to vote for a national candidate depend on the.color of th sate you live in?
“weeks before Americans begin voting in the midterm elections, the Trump administration wants to change the rules for voting by mail”
Actually, Trump put out his EO many months before the election with plenty of time to put it in place. It it the democrats like this Raja that have gone to court and pushed the implementation to weeks before the election if Trump wins in court. That is typical democrat, blame others for what they are/have done.
Postmaster General Steiner must resign
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
From a related thread...
Elite desperate Democrats who are allegedly having to cheat to win elections as a consequence of decades of supporting the vote-winning murder of unborn Democratic voters, unsurprisingly seem to have forgotten about the Constitution's Supremacy Clause in the context of federal government-controlled Postal Service when they decided to use mail-in ballots to allegedly rig elections.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads; It is one of a few government agencies explicitly authorized by the Constitution of the United States. (non-FR)
Article VI, Clause 2: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
We have nothing to learn from foreign born guy named Raja.
I found out a complete jerk of a boss I had donated to that guy.
Two jerks from the same stock.
He’s just mad that his name won’t fit on a standard envelope.
Once again, the left accusing the right of what it itself is doing. The ones “changing the rules” aren’t the ones who want to clear state voting rolls of illegal voters listed only because a vote by mail ballot was received from them and they are otherwise completely ineligible to vote. It’s the ones who relish vote by mail allowing non-citizens to fraudulently vote in our elections who are continuing to try to “change the rules”.
Revoke his citizenship and deport him.
It is extremely sad that many here believe in federal government censoring the mail.
