President Donald Trump put one more nail in the coffin of Democracy when he issued his move to do away with mail-in and machine voting. The move once again supports the belief that Trump wants to be a dictator. Every policy and executive order he issues advances his role as a dictator.
This move to end mail-in voting is unconstitutional and is just another one of Trump's beliefs that he has the right to control everything in this country.
According to the Constitution, election decisions are left to the states, not the federal government and certainly not to a dictatorial-seeking President. Trump's assertions are based on false information and conspiracy theories too numerous to list here.
This move by the president joins all of the many orders like deploying the military and National Guard on D.C.'s streets, supporting partisan redistricting efforts in Texas, eliminating TV and cultural programs that don't meet his views, and spreading lies and falsities about the media and those who question his actions.
It is time for all responsible citizens to remove the nails in the Democratic coffin that Trump has nailed. Support and elect candidates who will stand up to Trump and his ill-advised supporters. Our Democracy depends on it.
William J. Padamonsky Sr.
