Executive Orders apply to federal agencies ONLY.
Elections are run by the states. Executive orders have no standing on state-run elections.
However, a directive on the feds can have various coersive effects on states:
1. They can influence state actions due to federal funding of certain programs. In other words, coersion.
2. Doturd cannot "create" new law through an EO. So his threat is like himself, devoid of substance.
3. A blatant attempt at election rigging.
4. Unconstitutional. The election process is well established. However, with this SC, who knows where it will go.
And finally, for all the Reich Wing bluster about "states rights", attempting to "nationalize" elections to prevent his bloodbath in the midterms is just another weak attempt at political survival. He is weak, demented, and incredibly stupid. This will not help his cause.
