Wisconsin Election Commission Chair Don Millis explained to UpFront's Matt Smith that as it is written, it would be impossible for any state to follow Trump's myopic mail-in ballot restrictions, and even if it were able to be followed, it would hurt Republicans more than Democrats:

SMITH: Don Mills, a republican, is chair of the bipartisan elections commission. He joins us now. Don, good to see you. Welcome back to the show. Good morning. Let's start with this latest executive order, the latest from the federal judge. Barring these restrictions on mail-in voting from taking place. I mean, what is your understanding of what's latest, at least as it applies to Wisconsin?

MILLIS: Well, I think we are back at the status quo, which is the way it's been for several years. According to the judge's order, the post office will deliver ballots from clerks to voters. And if voters choose to return their ballot using the mail, the post office will deliver those to the clerks, as they have always done. There is a hearing now scheduled for Thursday. This will probably end up before the U.S. Supreme Court. Do you have any concerns? I guess short-term or long-term?

SMITH: One of the provisions says that the states have to comply with this citizenship list, or the postal service should not send ballots to anyone.

MILLIS: Yeah, well, I mean, the idea of doing what we can to make sure that non-citizens are not voting is a good goal. i don't think it's a i don't think it's a big problem. I do think that the perception is that it's a bigger problem. And things that could be done to eliminate that would be welcome. The problem is that this regulation doesn't really do that very well.

First of all, the regulation requires states to upload data to a portal, and that portal doesn't even exist. and so no state can comply with this, even though the rule has been in effect for a few days now. So I think it's, again, well-intentioned, ill-conceived.

SMITH: So do you, at this point, see any scenario where any of these new restrictions would be in place ahead of November?

MILLIS: I guess, you know, it's always possible that it could snow in July. But I think that if that's the case, then every state would have problems because this is a none of the states have been able to comply with this regulation as it is. And I think it would be difficult for anyone to comply.

And what would happen would be that this would be a huge disadvantage for republicans, because many of the areas that are dominated by democrats, like dane county and democratic voters, dane county and Milwaukee County, have alternatives to returning the ballots by mail. They have drop boxes. They have clerk hours that are extended, and they have a greater prevalence of in-person absentee balloting. many of the areas where republicans are are stronger. They have limited hours. They often don't have in-person absentee balloting. If they do, it's limited hours, and they don't have drop boxes where ballots can be returned.
In other words, it's a typical Trump scheme - it doesn't work, and if it did work, it would blow up in his face anyway.
