Executive Order 14399: The Real Plan to Kill Mail-In Voting | SistersInLaw

Will your ballot make it in the mail? Not if Trump gets his way. Jill, Barb, and JWV dig into Executive Order 14399 — "Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections" — and its three key provisions: forcing states to accept federal voter-eligibility lists, directing DOJ to prioritize prosecuting election workers, and giving the Postal Service new control over who can put a ballot in the mail. Barb explains why the real target is mail-in voting itself (used by roughly 1 in 4 Democrats and 1 in 5 Republicans), and how manufacturing fraud suspicion now lays the groundwork for contesting a future loss. After losing in a Massachusetts federal court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals, the administration is appealing directly to the Supreme Court — and Jill walks through why the Solicitor General's arguments don't hold up, especially with the response due just months before Election Day. Plus: a real-world example from New Jersey that proves the system already catches errors without anyone's vote being stolen.
