#Trump also wrote that he wanted to get rid of voting machines, which he described as inaccurate & expensive [wrong. Far more accurate than hand counting]. He claimed, incorrectly, that the US was “the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting.”
His post did not elaborate on what the #ExecutiveOrder would say. It was also not immediately clear whether the Trump admin could stop the use of mail-in voting, which is largely entrusted to individual states.

#Trump argued in his post that #states were “merely an agent’ for the #FederalGovernment in counting & tabulating the votes.” [he is so unbelievably ignorant]

“They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them,” Trump said. [whatever happened to the #StatesRights party?]

NY Gov #KathyHochul: “I'm tired of fighting this fight w/ my hand tied behind my back. … #politics is a political process.…we’re sick & tired of being pushed around when other #states don’t have the same aspirations that we always have had. I hold those dear. But I cannot ignore that the playing field has changed dramatically. Shame on us if we ignore that fact & cling tight to the vestiges of the past. That era is over. Donald #Trump eliminated that forever.”

NY Gov Kathy Hochul: “I'm tired with fighting this fight w/ my hand tied behind my back. With all due respect to the good govt groups, politics is a political process. And to think we're gonna do this with a purity test & make sure it’s completely fair to everyone involved —the reason we are able to draw the lines as Democrats is because the majority of the people in the state elected us to be leaders — & when we say that we cannot use that power to its fullest we are abdicating the responsibility that we all have. (If) Republicans take over the legislature, they can have at it. But until then we’re in charge, & we’re sick & tired of being pushed around when other states don’t have the same aspirations that we always have had. I hold those dear. But I cannot ignore that the playing field has changed dramatically. Shame on us if we ignore that fact & cling tight to the vestiges of the past. That era is over.
