Trump Votes by Mail and then Tells Us We CAN'T Vote by Mail!

In this episode of Justice Matters, host Glenn Kirschner and Democracy Forward President Sky Perryman dissect Donald Trump's contradictory actions regarding mail-in voting—voting by mail himself while signing an executive order aimed at restricting the practice for others. Perryman exposes the hypocrisy and constitutional overreach, emphasizing that the president lacks authority over elections, which are governed by Congress and the states. She details multiple federal lawsuits already filed challenging the order, noting that courts have consistently struck down similar overreach, including Trump’s attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship. The episode underscores a broader theme of resistance: citizens, lawyers, and organizations are mobilizing through litigation, community organizing, and public awareness to defend democratic norms. Perryman also discusses the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi, framing it as damage control amid mounting legal and ethical failures, while highlighting the long-term accountability that awaits those who compromised the rule of law. The episode closes with a call to action, urging listeners to support Democracy Forward and remain vigilant in protecting voting rights.
