16. Just remember - regardless of what he says he is signing, that isn't what he is actually signing.

And, unfortunately, the press will report it as if what he says he is signing is what he actually signed.

Before reacting to inaccurate or incomplete press results:

1. Plug your ears and read the executive order. Diarrhea of the mouth means absolutely nothing - just as it did when he theoretically imposed a 1 year sentence for flag burning - and the executive order did not even claim to make flag burning illegal, much less set a 1-year sentence for it.

2. Even if what he signs has some relation to what he says he is signing, it will almost certainly not go as far as he claims. And - how elections are run is within the control of the state, not federal, government.
