me reading the craziest news i've ever seen in my life every single day

White House circulating blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections Voting rights experts and at least one state election chief said Trump doesn’t have the authority to claim such powers — and any attempt would be blatantly illegal.

Justin Levitt, a constitutional law professor at Loyola Marymount University, said the draft order described by the Washington Post is not just illegal, but “there is literally no authority here that any local official would have to listen to.”
