–- Former U.S. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld (a famous liar), 2002
He failed miserably...

"Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul on Friday joined a coalition of 22 other states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's recent attempt to exert federal control over mail-in ballots and voter rolls.
"An executive order isn’t a royal decree," Kaul said in a statement. "The President can’t unilaterally dictate how states should run elections.""
