President Trump on Sunday threatened to not sign any bills into law until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is approved by the Senate, doubling down on his push to change voting requirements ahead of the midterm elections.

“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY…,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post.

If the president doesn’t sign a bill, it becomes law in 10 days. Sundays don’t count, and if congress adjourns during the period, it counts as a veto.

    Yeah, and with mail-in I can take my time and do all of it at home. No need to try to memorize which way to vote on what or take some crib sheet with me.

    It’s a delight.

      As far as I’m aware, all 50 states let you bring a “cheat sheet” into the Voting booth. Do your research at home at your own pace, write down your choices for each item, and bring that sheet into the booth with you.

      I agree that vote by mail should be universal, but lack of it isn’t an excuse to be uninformed at the polls.

      Especially when the questions are written in a way to make your second-guess your choice.
