Rachel Maddow warned viewers on Monday that President Donald Trump plans to interfere with midterm election results, following the Supreme Court’s recent 7-2 ruling against his executive order instructing the US Postal Service (USPS) to block states from distributing and collecting mail-in ballots.

Trump’s order, which he signed last March, would’ve directed the USPS to refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to anyone whose information hadn’t been properly submitted to a new state citizenship list maintained by the federal government.


“Trump is counting on confusion, uncertainty, and a lack of confidence in the mail-in voting system to suppress voter turnout,” she said.

      Trump said before he was elected in 2016 that if he didn’t win re-election, he would challenge the results. Then he did exactly that. The dude has already openly committed a coup.

      At this point, if the public isn’t paying attention, it’s because the political system is clearly fully committed to letting Trump do whatever he wants.
