Trump simply does not have the power to dictate the “manner” of how the states elect federal officials. That is the purview of the states under our Constitution.

He wants to ban mail-in and require in-person voting so that he can use the Rehnquist technique: Poll watchers demand conclusive ID from every voter, making for long lines and banning voters who don't routinely carry such ID. Long lines after work discourage more voters. Applied in Blue precincts.

Each state runs their own elections. Trump can NOT dictate whether states do mail in voting or not.

Because he wants control over EVERYTHING and will try & intimidate anyone who doesn't worship him. He wants to prevent overseas military members/families and civilians overseas from voting. He's trying to rig the next election.

He knows that redistricting won't gain them the seats they need to hold the House. So instead he will try to make all voting in person so he can send out ICE goons to try to intimidate PoC at polling stations. Also planting seeds of doubt to claim Dems rigged elections they win.

With all due respect we've yet to see Trump hit any limits to his power in this term, his takeover of government and the courts is more or less complete. I hope I'm wrong and there are some checks and balances left, but right now it seems he can do anything he wants.
