No, Donald Trump cannot implement voting changes via Executive Order. He may try but if he does, he we will sue and we will win.
BARTIROMO: Could the president just implement an executive order to get the SAVE Act across the finish line going into the midterms?

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.
Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.
