Man this guy is dumb and pathetic. His fragile ego couldn't accept the fact that he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. He and his MAGA cult members have spent the past 5 years insisting that there was "widespread fraud" and "cheating" in that election despite the fact there has been ZERO evidence of that. Trump's Attorney General Bill Barr even admitted that. . . so he got fired. 
His buddy PillowMan wasted millions upon millions of dollars trying to prove it. He even owes a regular citizen $5 million when the guy won a bet issued by Lindell to disprove his "data". 
Well the Very Stable Genius doesn't know that he cannot change federal elections by Presidential executive order. Only Congress can change them. . . and only for federal elections. Each individual state can decide how to run their own state (and local) elections. Congress has no control over that.
Of course this will wind up in all sorts of courts wasting a lot of time and money. It is a loser of an idea though. How ironic. 
P.S. Spare me the whole "but Trump was winning when I went to bed and then in the morning it was Biden! They stuffed the ballots!" Um no. Many states legally cannot start counting mail-in votes until after the polling places close on Election Day. That takes some time.

I started doing mail in ballots back in 2016, and I really hope they don’t change that. I used to not mind waiting in the lines, but this has helped me never miss anything on which to vote. I have a feeling I missed a few city changed over the years, and in this day and age, everything seems more and more important.

My ex and I requested absentee ballots for the 2018 mid-term elections because we were going to be in Mexico that week. Then they automatically sent mail-in ones out from that point forward. I actually went to the local Elks club to vote after I moved here and was told that if I had used a mail in ballot before then I had to do it again. Fine with me!
