The Democratic National Committee, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, along with their major campaign arms, filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday to block President Trump’s executive order cracking down on mail-in voting rules ahead of the midterms.

The order, as reported by RedState’s Ward Clark earlier this week, requires federal agencies to verify U.S. citizenship using Social Security and DHS data, directs the Postal Service to send absentee ballots only to voters on approved state lists, and uses unique barcodes for tracking.

The swift and aggressive legal response reeks of panic from Democrats who have spent years defending the current system as an ironclad defense of democracy. It’s a blatant attempt to stop the President from taking a straightforward step to stop potential fraud. Why would the resistance party be in such stark opposition to fighting fraud?

 

In a stunning display of bipartisan role-playing, the Democrats have dusted off the Constitution and their lawsuit pens to thwart President Trump’s plan to turn mail-in voting into a national game of bureaucratic hide-and-seek, complete with Social Security checks and barcodes that would make a supermarket jealous. Apparently, while these same Democrats have long treated mail-in ballots like the Holy Grail of democracy—untouchable, unquestionable, and utterly sacred—they now see any attempt at “verification” as an authoritarian apocalypse. The real menace, it seems, is not fraud but the horror of using actual data to keep democracy orderly. So buckle up, America: the battle over who gets to claim the moral high ground in the circus of election rules is underway, proving once more that nothing says “ordered liberty” quite like multitiered lawsuits and a flood of heated press releases.
