Reinforcement of state authority: The ultimate outcome would likely be a strong legal and political affirmation of the state's authority over election administration, confirming that the president cannot seize control of ballots.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Electoral legitimacy crisis: Such an action would cause a severe crisis of legitimacy, potentially plunging the country into political chaos and threatening the peaceful transfer of power.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Criminal investigation: Federal and state criminal investigations would be launched into anyone who conspired to unlawfully seize ballots.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Political and legal fallout: Impeachment proceedings: A president attempting to seize ballots would likely face immediate impeachment proceedings in Congress for abuse of power.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Confrontation avoided: A direct armed confrontation between state and federal forces would likely be avoided due to the immediate judicial intervention and the refusal of federal agencies to participate.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Many federal officials have institutional experience upholding the law and would not participate in such a direct and unconstitutional assault on the election process.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Refusal to comply: It is highly likely that federal agencies, including the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security, would refuse to carry out such an unlawful order.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
State lawsuits: State officials and the state Attorney General would immediately file lawsuits in federal court to block the president's order. They would argue that the president is exceeding his authority and that the state has sovereign control over the administration of elections.

Any DOJ official who followed such an unlawful order would be subject to court challenges and potential legal jeopardy.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Prosecutorial powers: While a president can direct the Department of Justice (DOJ), the DOJ's authority is limited to enforcing existing federal law. Seizing lawfully cast ballots from state control is not a federal power.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Any federalized Guard members would likely refuse the order, or it would be challenged and blocked by the courts.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Federalization of the National Guard: The president can federalize a state's National Guard under very limited circumstances, typically to enforce federal law when a state is unable. A presidential order to seize ballots, however, would have no legal basis.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
No unilateral power: The Constitution does not grant the president unilateral power to regulate or seize ballots. In the past, presidential attempts to direct federal agencies to seize voting machines were blocked by institutional checks, including officials within the Department of Justice.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
State law enforcement and National Guard: A governor's order to use state, county, and city law enforcement, along with the state's National Guard, to protect ballots is a legal exercise of their constitutional authority. The National Guard is under the governor's command in its state duty status.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Decentralized system: The U.S. Constitution gives states primary authority over the "Times, Places, and Manner" of holding elections. This decentralized structure places the responsibility for election administration, including the safeguarding of ballots, on state and local officials.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
A president's attempt to seize ballots would be seen as an unconstitutional overreach of power.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
A conflict between a state governor's orders to protect ballots and a president's attempt to seize them would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis with several possible outcomes. State authority over elections is established by the Constitution, but federal law also sets standards.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
If the Govenor Of A State Orders State, County & City Law Enforcement with reserves to protect Ballots at election time and the President attempts to take ballots what would be the outcome?
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Civilian resistance: In addition to court action, election officials and the public would likely resist the federal action, leading to civil unrest and a complete breakdown of trust in the electoral process.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
The president's lawyers would likely try to justify the action under a broad, aggressive interpretation of presidential powers, though such a position would have little historical or legal precedent.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
The state would argue that the president has no constitutional or statutory authority to interfere with state-run elections and that the order violates the Posse Comitatus Act.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Court intervention: The governor would immediately file a lawsuit seeking an injunction to stop the president's order. The courts, not military force, would be the ultimate arbiter of the dispute.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
A constitutional crisis: The country would face a constitutional crisis pitting a president's order against a governor's authority, triggering immediate legal challenges and widespread condemnation.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Election interference laws: Multiple federal statutes criminalize military officers and federal employees from interfering with elections, including placing armed troops at polling places. Any officer who followed such an order would risk prosecution.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Posse Comitatus Act: This law generally prohibits the use of federal military forces to enforce domestic laws. The president's order to seize ballots, a function of civilian law enforcement and election administration, would be a clear violation of this act.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
However, an order to seize ballots would be of dubious legality and would be challenged immediately.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
The clash: In a head-to-head confrontation, federalized National Guard or active-duty troops under the president's command would likely have superior legal standing over state-controlled Guard units to execute a valid federal order.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
The president's order: If the president orders federal troops (e.g., active-duty military) to seize ballots, those troops must obey the president, their commander-in-chief.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
Federal authority: Congress has the power to "make or alter" state regulations for federal elections. While federal law and agencies can set standards, the president has no constitutional power to unilaterally seize ballots or otherwise interfere with election administration.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
A governor deploying the National Guard to protect ballots would be seen as an exercise of this state authority.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social) reply parent
State authority: The U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures primary responsibility for determining the "Times, Places, and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives". States administer elections, from voter registration to certifying results.
samculper.bsky.social (@samculper.bsky.social)
If a president ordered federal troops to take ballots and a governor used the National Guard to stop them, the outcome would be a major constitutional crisis with no easy resolution. This scenario would represent a dangerous breach of the democratic process.
