All expats and military stationed overseas vote by mail.

Is TSF going to take their right to vote away with an executive order?

Executive orders can’t override state laws

And any legislation to ban mail in voting is DOA at the Senate filibuster.

He can get all the red states to ban mail in voting but other than pissing off their own voters that won’t accomplish much.

Just because the military stations you in a new state doesn't mean your state of residence changes.
