🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday commanding wide-ranging changes to how U.S. elections are administered, a move that will be swiftly challenged by voting rights organizations across the country. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The only way he could ever win was by cheating🤷🏻♀️🤬
Just like Russia.
The sorry prick is trying to make it to where only certain people can vote. Trump is a convicted felon and he should not be able to vote. The founding fathers wanted the right to vote to apply to all Americans. The Asshole Trump is scared of a fair legitimate vote.

You got that right! 😡
States rights. Not
Yeah this is bad
DOGE is going to review voter registration lists? Wtf
Abuse of presidential powers
He can't do anything.
Outrageous! This cannot stand. Thank you Marc for fighting for our voting rights. We support you.
Indulge me a second. What is wrong with having to show who you are before voting? Doesn't everybody have some form of ID?
Yes; what everybody else said...
Keep fighting, Marc. If trump is given an inch, he'll take it all the way until he dies.
This is wholly illegal. I hope all courts reject this garbage.
This is just deflection to get us to move on from the leaking of our Military secrets.
They have a playbook Project 2025. They call a play from it whenever they want or need to. Nazis are very efficient.
Along with trying to push folks over the edge so they can declare martial law.
He's going to be the first guy to get away with the "I was only following orders" defense.
This is a diversion over Signalgate and fury over trashing Social security.
We can only hope. He probably planned to release it soon but rushed it as a diversion.
The absolute nerve of the traitor felon conman! 😡 Go get him, U.S. Judiciary!
HERE WE GO!
We need attorneys like you to stop this. This order is mainly directed at CA because of our immigrant population, even though millions here are citizens now. He wants CA. Well he can't have it. I'm sick and tired of his smash and grabs.
Wahington too.
Thanks for reppin' our state, CALI GIRL! 👏🐻🔥✌️
Welcome Joe!
Nice profile banner! 💙😎
Seriously! All our teams!
Absolutely!
During Trump's rallies he deliberately says "you will never have to vote again", now we know what he meant. Don't forget that Tennessee GOP efforts to suppress voters is "giving them the choice of voting for the GOP or going to jail".
Thank goodness we have you and your team on our side !
He sure does not like states rights.
Pretty sure we’ve fallen into U.N. Election Monitoring territory. We’ve already had a few states probably not qualify as democracies anymore, I guess they want to go full tilt into the authoritarian regime thing
I am so mad. This con artist is a traitor to our country and should be deported to Russia
Stealing our VOTES
Which won’t change shit. Stupid motherfucker!
Convicted felon trump has no plans of allowing elections going forward. That was his promise.
My lawyer friends are in disbelief over the capitulation by legal firms. Thanks for having the moral fortitude to stand up for us little guys. ❤️
Are we there yet, Chuck?
this feels like a direct threat to registered Democrats, who would vulnerable to being targeted by the Federal government
He’ll do everything in his power to win the 2026 election knowing full well that his policies are disliked by a majority of voters.
EO’s aren’t law. These are simply marching orders. He’s going after judges first. That’s the fight.
Gratitude to you a million times over!
Thank you for fighting this insanity.
This is just his way of trying to distract everyone. Create a new problem that’ll take time through the courts, to bury the colossal screw up. Fortunately, ppl can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time. Watch- another major change coming soon.
We will never, ever be Trump bootlickers. Thank you for standing up when others are being cowed by Trump.
Trying to take focus off his unqualified cabinet members
A deflection from the Signal classified debacle.
His first attempt to create an American version of Russian election system where only he gets to be elected.
Trump is planning on staying in office until they carry his cold dead body out. The Republican Party, ie The Trump Party / MAGA is complicit and all should be treated as treasonous traitors to the country.
"This just in to the news desk! American scientists have discovered that straws no longer break camel's backs. We'll have more on this at 11. Back to you Tim."
Yup. I saw this as soon as he won. He’s following Putin’s playbook. It’s what he did when he got power. Then he had his presidency made a life term.
Another day, another illegal executive order.
Is this because he manipulated the last election?!?
He wants to be king! Someone needs to stop him. Please help us.
We already have a guiding document to fight back against Project 2025. It’s MLK’s April 4, 1967 speech Beyond Vietnam. It’s more than history. It provides the vision, philosophy, and values we need and critically the moral compass we’ve lost. www2.hawaii.edu/~freeman/cou...
How reassuring.
Fuck this clown
Just a note : I always thought the US govt was house of reps and senate .. not executive orders by one man.
He’s such an idiot.
😡😡😡😡😡😡
They know they can't afford to lose. Their efforts will only intensify because losing means jail time (I hope), loss of bar licenses, and public condemnation (although their followers will still donate).
Four more years of this ???
So far all the damage done to this country in the past two months are the result of EOs. Congress might as well go home. Oh wait. They are home. They’ve been told they are no longer needed in running the US. He alone can do it!
Because he knows he’s a fucking loser
And THIS is why they distracted everyone with the Signal/Goldberg fiasco.
Oh look! A shiny new distraction dangle to pull focus away from Signalgate!
I bet those who swore the Constitution and the guardrails would hold are reconsidering
Bring on the lawsuits.
Marc, as you are one of the best examples of lawyers standing up to this mishegas, is there something an average terrified person can do right now to help you? Is there an ongoing legal fund, for example? A “buy Marc a drink” fund?🍸
Subscribe to his newsletter to support him. Lots of us posting actions you can take every day.
Thanks!

He’s trying to rig the next elections! We must stop him even if we have to go to the Supreme Court!
They're definitely going to rig any upcoming elections. He's a known cheater. #lockthemup #impeachnow
We’re in deeper shit
So what page of Project 2025 are we on now?
Sooo….this is a photocopy of Putin’s orders to his rapist, felonious protege?
But the states rights
We need to audit this past election. We need to audit the paper ballots in every swing state. youtu.be/-VxkDbnNuxU?...
I'm no election law expert, but imo there's no constitutional way in hell that this commission can make *substantive* changes to prerequisites to voting by mail, or at all. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electio...
How can people who have had all the advantages be so cruel to their fellow man?? What makes trump so evil? He needs to suffer the same punishment those prisoners in El Salvador are going through.
Whew! Between this and deleting FEMA, they’re working hard to distract us from SignalGate. Eh?
what
They’re burying the story and distracting us with more horrifying EOs, etc. Fortunately we will not be fooled!! Right?
what's this FEMA thing?
thehill.com/policy/energ...
oh, well she can say whatever the fuck she wants. i wouldn't put it past her to try, but i won't believe anything until it starts
I hope you’re right, going into tornado season, but it’s already frozen. Here’s another doozie: bsky.app/profile/kyle...
i know that one
I’d like to know where the kill switch is on this ride so we can all get off and resume our normal lives.
bsky.app/profile/jmdc...
Isn’t this yet another overreach by someone who insists that things will be better if these decisions are left to the states? I need to look it up, but I don’t think this is not within the scope of his authority.
It’s not within his scope of authority. He can’t executive order to supersede a law already in place.
Typo on my part. I meant that it isn’t within the scope. 😓 Sorry.
Why he is still in office is beyond comprehension.
omg... I can't understand how he is getting away with all he does. He's a criminal!!!!
Signing an executive order that bans elections.
Seems like he's trying to rig the midterms. Maybe why the Repubs don't seem to be that worried about all the pushback from their own voters over everything they've done so far.
He just wanted to make “WhiskiLeaks” go away
EO's are illegal under dems but gutting the constitution under a gop pres with EO's is ok. Folks thought they would be passing legislation in congress lol.
Come on America open your eyes, that guy is destroying Democracy, that guy is your Hitler....
Why the hell does he think he can do whatever he wants? None of this falls under the immunity because it’s all bullshit! None of it can be considered presidential act because none of it is constitutional! It’s completely ridiculous!
This idiot thinks he can override laws and the constitution by EO
I was just thinking back to when I was watching footage from the McCarthy era. Is it crazy to think we are heading towards a new version of this McCarthy tyranny as a rebound from the trump insanity. Is a McCarthyism gonna be the answer to the trump regime?
extrem actions never can be an answer. either a witch hunt nor a ring kissing party. i only wanted to remember the past. As old school anarchist the answer only could be in civil disobedience of all americans.
Americans have not to vote anymore. He announced it.
Legislation via executive order. Who knew?!
You think any of those Trumpers have extra Stop The Steal signs it's finally relevant
And the coup goes on and on and on Will Chuck Schumer see this as a crisis, probably not
So voting he wants at federal level, but right to choose at state level. He needs to decide whether all things are federal or state.
This is all so fucked up
"The commission would be required to amend the guidelines it uses to determine if voting systems are accessible and secure then re-certify voting systems under those new standards." They're going to connect tabulation tablets to starlink like they did in PA.
More distraction.
Does anyone know how many US citizens don’t have ways to proof their citizenship? While I don’t believe there is a widespread fraud, I can understand why this might appeal to many people…
We saw this one coming.. another layer of election rigging by trump.. you would think with Putin infiltrating, musk paying voters and who knows who else.. he would have it secured enough .. martial law will be the icing on the cake
So no voting basically. Calling Luigi...
Plz contact your state’s gov & AG! He is absolutely trying to make the 2026 Mids inaccessible as possible to voters bc he knows that the Rs is going to lose majority to Ds. This is also why he wants to privatize USPS bc that will hurt the 8 blue states & WA DC that vote by mail. We must stop him!!!
How swiftly will those organizations and the firms that represent them now be threatened by Pam Bondi? Or is she too busy protecting Elon?
More people need to resist this treasonous thugs, more protests.
There he goes again. Presidents don't enact election laws. Congress does!
What an evil little demented weasel sack of skin and bones.
He doesn't want votes counted after election day? Um, that would do away with mail-in voting. He wants electronic voting so Musk can rig it again for him
Let the challenges begin!!!
Give him hell!
Republicans know they can't win without manipulating and buying elections. Corporate $ out. Gerrymandering out. Thanks for continuing the fight @marcelias.bsky.social

This will be shredded if the judiciary does its job.
He has already defied a federal judge and has refused to turn over the timeline of the El Salvador flights. His challenge to the court is frightening. What are they going to do about it?
This will lose in all the courts, and will be another 5-4 decision at SCOTUS. Just be glad he did it so far from the midterms. Can you imagine if he pulled this bonehead move in June 2026? It would never make its way through the molasses courts in time.
Again, the sheer arrogance from heritage foundation is staggering. They're high on their own supply big time.
Heritage foundation think people voted for their policies, even though Trump assured he had nothing to do with them and gullible people believed him.

This is the distraction to get us off the signal debacle.
Of course he did, trying to distance attention away from Hegseth and the rest of the traitors.
Thanks Marc!
Pretty sure Donnie doesn't run the states. Really sure, in fact. As Mario Cuomo once pointed out, the States were there first; they -created- the Federal government.
more dictator shit MAGA morons need to open their ears and eyes or else they will be vilified once Trump pulls off the takeover the United states
He just can't put down the f-ing pen long enough to listen to the people saying stop the BS
What a knucklehead. Each state runs their own elections, the Secretaries of State are responsible for elections. ballotpedia.org/Secretary_of...
JFC!! I hate him. Of course he does it in the middle of the Signal scandal. Go get'em Marc!!!
The biggest criminal in charge that this country has ever seen.
The president has no say in how federal elections are run. It is a state responsibility with input from Congress as outlined in Article I Section 4 of the US Constitution. The courts will throw out this EO. They're throwing spaghetti on the wall and putting up distractions. Don't lose focus.
“Trump’s order directs the Election Assistance Commission to change the federal voter registration form to require voters to provide government-issued documentary proof of citizenship. Under his order, voters could use passports or REAL IDs to prove citizenship but not birth certificates.”
Wait, so...it'll remain exactly the same as it was before?? Or am I stupid?
States set their own requirements for registration and voting.
I meant the "requiring a REAL ID" part. Isn't that already required in order to be able to vote? Or does he mean you'd need to flash your ID at the polls? (and i could've sworn i needed to do that last time)
No, there has never been a federal requirement. Again, each state is different. You can check your state (or any state you choose) to see the specific requirements for both registration & requirements to vote at polls.
Get 'em
He's the crazy uncle who puts everything that's not nailed down into his suitcase every visit. This maniacal behavior staking claim to rule everything in the world is so beyond the pale. Everyone must double-down for wins in April 1 #FL1 #FL6 House and #WI Supreme Court elections in progress now.
...If he were unable to complete his Evil Dictator takeover in this trick, and Ds get the trifecta, his rules left standing could be what saves democracy.
But @marcelias.bsky.social or anyone, does data prove that making it harder to vote hurts Ds? These days, Rs are the goobers who don't know what day it is and don't read local news. I feel like Ds shoot 'selves in foot with ethical GOTV for all. Ask for D vote. Tell R voters wrong poll info.
Well, he really, really doesn’t want us to think about the colossal blunder they made with our national security this week.
Or was the collosal blunder to distract us from this?
This is why Charles Koch bought a Manchin in WV, to make sure the Voting Rights legislation never got passed.
When he said you would never have to vote again, he meant it.
Yeah but he can’t executive order this because he don’t control elections he is only president for 4 years this will challenged immediately and before the mid terms
I don’t think he can break the constitution by taking our votes
He doesn't care about the Constitution and neither do his supporters. That kind of thinking got us where we are at.
I think he actually meant we'd never get to vote again. Maybe it's just semantics...
In actuality it means we'll never FORget to vote again...
I'm not that optimistic. Especially given the forces he's/they've brought to bear.
Yep
Like a serial killer saying someone will never have to work again.
Perfect analogy.
And what did those dumb ass red hat wearing motherfuckers do but cheer.
I saw a post today that said these are more like fancy memo's and not law. If that's true, then why would election protocol change?
He's breaking his oath to support his executive orders. The end.
This is ridiculous. They’re not even hiding the fact that they intend to make sure we never again hold fair elections. Impeach Trump and Vance now.
His toadies are never gonna do that. What’s plan B?
I’m hoping Republicans in Congress start to come around once they realize how deeply unpopular 90% of what he’s doing is with their constituents, including their MAGA constituents. You can only stab veterans, the elderly, and the working class in the back for so long.
I wish I had any faith in them but the ones that aren’t painfully stupid have zero backbone.
His supporters think this is what a President does. Release edicts. They don’t know a tidily-wink’s worth about how our government works. It’s how they thought this guy would be great. Education in civics and required knowledge as a citizen would be really great.
To be fair, most of them don't know how to read either.
We could teach civics in cartoons.
Sorry, art of any kind is too woke.

It’s so hard to keep track of all this sh$t. They just want us overwhelmed all the time.
Just like the mother fucker said, you'll never have to vote again!
He's never won a fair fight in his life. He runs away from anything that has the slightest inkling of fairness, because he KNOWS he'll lose EVERY SINGLE TIME. His own personal acknowledgement that he is a total loser at heart is really the only thing he's ever been right about.
Fkr taking another step toward a dictatorship! 🖕🏻
The man is off his rocker! His narcissism is ruining our nation! He should not have been allowed per the constitution to run. He's an insurrectionist!
Pretty sure he doesn’t have that authority, lol. Go get ‘em!
Executive orders are not laws! Who cares what he signs?!! Don't obey. If it becomes a law, then we fight it. Otherwise, let him blather
I’m thinking about my super hero costume. We’re all going to need one.
Marc, can you talk about this one too.. people.seem to be freaking out .. seems to try to consolidate government payments. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
RESIST!!!!
FUDT
If he wants a fight, we'll give him one he'll regret.
We have known this was coming. I hope the people we have put in office are prepared to defend American voting rights.
More BS nonsense to keep the DEMs on their back heals. How many legal executive orders will there be?
Just like on Jan. 6, 2021, Donald J Trump will do everything possible to keep himself in power. It's what the USA signed up for when a plurality of 2024 voters elected him again. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...
Trump I hope when you die you are in such pain you scream and beg for death. No one that has ever lived except for Hitler and Eleamin have caused such pain and sorrow on a population. You are in a very exclusive group of demented psychos who are morally and emotionally corrupt.
BLOCK him! We have a right to vote..
As always— I put my trust in your law firm
Lawsuit in 3, 2, 1
I try hard every day to keep up with the barrage of news coming our way. But I seem to have missed the publication of a study that reveals that we IN FACT have an issue with ineligible voters impacting our elections. If such a study exists I sure would like to review it.

Has he ever actually read the Constitution? Does he have actual lawyers?
He’s a thug
I can't keep up with this jackass and his minions. It's intentional . . . flood us with so much bullshit, we don't know which fight to choose.
so we just add this to the list of things he has no authority to do, but is trying to do it anyway? long list already
You gotta admit, Trump, as big a fool as he may be, knows he can't win an election without voter suppression and lots of help from our enemies.
He is just enough smarts to be a convincing con man.
too bad we couldn't make him a 'convicted' con man. 😕

And it starts
Elections are run by states, much as public education is. The "order" is meaningless theater.
I thought states owned elections in their individual states??
And according to the Constitution, every state can and should tell him “Nah, we’re good. Fuck off.”
Thank you Marc!
🤬🤬🤬
Can he just fucking go away already? Is it seriously too much to ask?
this we pray amen
Due to his age and health, he will go away eventually, the problem is all the damage he's going to do to Democracy first. Plus, the fact that his bullshit will be the GOP playbook going forward. We'll not only have to resist, but help replace an entire political party.
Dude eats so much garbage that his blood must be the consistency of Play-Doh but somehow he just keeps refusing to die already
My dad always said that evil lingers on out of pure spite.
True
May you all out live Trump, May you all out live the line to piss on his grave.
Then we get Vance, Johnson or Rubio. (Yes, I’ve read the Constitution. They haven’t)
Let me rephrase. Can they ALL just go away already?
It’s because he’s filled with literally all of the preservatives.
You trying to make me choke on my coffee?
52 USC § 20511 Federal Election Fraud (2) knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair & impartially conducted election process
Right on the 60th anniversary of the conclusion of the Voting Rights March of 1965 and assassination of Viola Liuzzo. So not a coincidence. Vile.
Attacking our government at its core
Republicans are once again trying to cut the branch they are sitting on. Most likely "real id" requirement is unconstitutional and also it is likely to disenfranchise the voters that voted for Trump in largest percentage, seniors.

He thought he’d slip it in, capitalize on the security disaster, ensuring no one would notice he is removing voting rights.
Federal courts do your thang.
What pestilent. Good God these people are relentless. Fuck Trump. We must fight back. #Resist
I guess he forgot that the Constitution gives administration of elections over to the States? Or he’s just not reading the Constitution now
Well, it gives Congress the power to set uniform standards, but ofc he's not Congress.
What I'm learning is that executive orders are not laws...the appropriate answer to every EO from this criminal president is "See you in court"
This is why he wants to defund the courts or to pass a bill neutralizing district courts. One is on the way from rep. Issa and will be voted for next week. Hope it will be rejected.
Which is why it was a smart move by Schumer to not let the government shutdown. The courts are our only recourse as long as the GOP controls Congress.
Pretty sure drump won't give a crap and just orders to shut off the funding to the courts that defy him. Schumer's attempt would do nothing, yet it has painted the Democratic party as a pushover once again. That they would do anything to maintain the status quo.
He’s done it and would have done it anyway. All Schumer did was to kick the can down the road. The PEOPLE need to get off their asses and Schumer just gave them a cushion to ignore what’s going on.
It was the poor choices made by the people that landed us in this mess. Putting pressure on their respective Congressional representatives is our recourse now because the trump destruction train has left the station.
That’s one giant step for fascism and one giant leap for an authoritarian regime
One cannot do that via EO. He’s a fucking idiot.
Right, but if nobody stops him...
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. 😡
Thank you Democracy Docket/Mark Elias! We won't let this administration destroy our elections and voting rights. Let's all fight for our rights!
Here comes the authoritarian changes and the cementing of Trump’s dynasty. Whoever voted for this sweet potato Hitler, you get what you deserve. No Social Security, lose your farms, close the manufacturing plants. Too bad. So sad. Maybe the billionaire will give you a free Nazi-mobile.
If you can’t win by offering good policy, voter suppression and gerrymandering are your only options.
And here we go….!!
They're setting themselves up with "sweeping overhauls" for elections because they knew they got away with cheating once, and need a reason to point to if they get away with it next time.
Everything is an Executive Order with this oaf. First, he knows the orders would have a hard time passing as legislation through Congress...because his EOs are mostly unsavory ideas. Secondly, he is a lazy SOB and doesn't care to do the work it takes to pass legislation.
It's worse than that! The more EOs he can make stick even though they exceed his authority, the more authority the President can exercise from now on. He only needs Congress for when it doesn't work.
Sounds highly unconstitutional and illegal to me but what do I know?
Thank you Marc and your team continually standing up for voting rights in this country.
Please, continue your unrelenting work to protect our voting rights.
Naziism...
This was the plan all along….they don’t plan on having any more elections. He fucking said it during the campaign and white peopleSTILL voted for him!
This is the way DOGE and Voldemusk will hack into our elections, using Social Security data and voting info data. #SaveDemocracy
