Trump Moves to Create Federal Voter Lists

Wednesday, April 01, 2026

By Executive Order, Donald Trump ordered the creation of a nationwide list of verified eligible voters. DHS, working in conjunction with the Social Security Administration (SSA), will make the list of eligible voters in each state. The US Postal Service (USPS) will be barred from sending absentee ballots to those not on each state's approved list. Mail-in ballots will have secure envelopes with unique barcodes for tracking.

Lewzer quotes:

"Why Is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

"The country wasn't based on executive orders,"

"Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it."

Because this is remotely constitutional.

People who are terrified of the government having a list of gun owners support this.

Trumpf junta apparatchiks have denied that masked and armed ICE agents will be at polling stations on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Goof-for-nothing Jeffrey Epstein pal Steve Bannon thinks ICE Brownshirts should be deployed to the polling sites.

Can even this Rwing SC let Voter's Lists for States made up by the Fed Gov stand?

OK, dumb question.

Trump ordered his first DOJ to have States change the Result names on their Electoral Ballots from Biden to Trump, and his DOJ refused.

Which is why his former Criminal Defense Attnys Blondi and Blanche are now running the DOJ.

Wake up, Trumpers, your Cult Leader is a Fascist.

"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, and subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race.

Emerging in early 20th-century Europe, it promotes a mythical past, intense nationalism, and the use of violence to maintain order and hierarchy."

Yay. Another lawsuit. More lawyers.

Meanwhile.

Don't use the post office. Use a drop box.

I know my state legislature and gov will be all falling over each other to support and legitimize the EO. My only hope is that my neighbors fight hard against it. We'll see.

Will be struck down within a few days and then go nowhere, much like almost everything else Trump has attempted, his presidency of nothing but rage-baiting

Best part of this post is you are admitting that Obama was an executive order freak, like a King!

How will slack-jawed MAGAts react when word gets out in tribal gatherings that their federally-approved voter identification particulars are linked to a database housing tax returns, information about gun ownership, Social Security numbers, and telephone records?

Asking for a friend.

Around social media, Trumpers are attempting to make the argument that he can unilaterally get away with changes to election laws for "Federal elections". I think an argument can be made that there is no such thing as a Federal election. Senators and Representatives of each State are chosen by the citizens of those respective States. For example, an eligible voter in Texas cannot vote on a US Senate race in Wyoming, therefor making it a State election to chose a Federal representative. In fact, unless we eliminate the Electoral Collage, even the POTUS is not determined by a Federal election. It is decided by series of state elections which determine how Electoral votes will be allocated. Constitutionally the POTUS does not have the powers to regulate ANY elections. (No Kings?) I hope the SCOTUS recognizes this. But with this court it's anyone's guess.

@18 And possibly TSA watchlists, court-ordered child support payments, protection orders, and bankruptcies.
