On Saturday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit blocked Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting order. A lower court had already blocked the order after a lawsuit brought by 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia. But Todd Blanche, Trump’s personal attorney cosplaying as the country’s acting attorney general, seems to have no limit for spending taxpayer money to please Donald Trump, in this case by persevering in the effort to make voting harder and less trusted.
Democracy Docket explains: “The Trump administration has ordered DHS to run states’ voter files through a flawed database system called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE), which is supposed to be used solely for verifying eligibility for government benefits. Election experts have shown that the SAVE system has regularly misidentified eligible voters.”
“Trump’s order also required the US Postal Service to only deliver ballots to voters on each state’s approved mail-in ballot list,” The Guardian noted.
