Sounds like the states should prosecute him for interfering in the elections... specifically with the delivery of election material. Pretty sure there are State laws against that in addition to the federal ones that wont be prosecuted by this administration.

Problem is that right now he's just talking. The states will have to wait for him to actually cause harm to prosecute him. Then the election will already be in chaos..

States should be able to seek security guarantees with valid reasoning, of which this rhetoric should qualify. That should be administerable without interference. For example, what if a state could work with foreign allies in times of dire — e.g., to secure distribution for mail ballots? Or perhaps if they could deputize their own labor forces for such things, while having funding secured for such possibilities?

So if someone announces they're going to burn down a shopping mall, the cops can't stop them?

I feel like this is something you'd get shot for in the 1800s

A lot of trends come back around. Sometimes all they need is one visionary to make the right statement at the right time for people to remember why it was a thing to begin with.

I am of course referring to the cyclical nature of fashion and nothing else.

The postmaster is a traitor.
