Calling for “nationalized elections” feeds into mistrust, but it clashes directly with the constitutional structure of federalism.

He wants to Stop the Clock when his team is ahead.

We all want transparency in government, but this ploy is plain as day.
"You have the right to vote, and we have the right to do the counting"

I'd bet there are many DUers who could predict them with great accuracy.

Or a Bingo Card. I'd put NYC in the Free Square.

“It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes”

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: Constitution

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

try to turn this into a serious discussion.

Should we allow Donald Trump to appoint a group of people to decide election outcomes?

Seriously, this will now be presented on news programs as a legitimate question.

They are ALREADY doing crap like that in the news media, i.e., stuff like -

that he won in the last election where there were far more votes than people.

Funny how Musk’s Ballotpedia Doge Boys were able to work on voter d-base files in all the swing states
states and then Peter Thiel’s Palantir ran “digital janitor” program that did not flip or delete votes but
hid some of the evidence that is exactly what happened. In Hillary’s 2016 run, in Ohio’s Senate races in
2022 & 2024, and in Kamala’s 2024 race there was all kinds of “under votes” where people showed up
and voted but skipped voting for President and or Senate in Ohio.

...in Georgia! He's such a loser, not a leader.

That's tons of real waste left behind that DOGE didn't clean up.

Make that a herd of elephants..DOGE was cleaning out,not cleaning up.

We need to get this power abusing psychopath out of the White House *NOW*!

Those concerned about democracy don’t have the luxury of simply shrugging with indifference to the president’s latest conspiratorial nonsense.

Four weeks ago: Trump floated the idea of canceling future elections
Three weeks ago: “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election”
Yesterday: “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting”

But it’s not just rhetoric: all of this has come against a backdrop of concrete action.

should have been impeached 6 months ago .

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle condemned President Trump’s call to nationalize U.S. elections as a dangerous stepping stone after he said Republicans should “take over” their administration.

Trump’s comments came on the heels of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s presence during the execution of a search warrant in which the FBI seized ballots in Fulton County, Ga., that were cast during the 2020 election.

Democrats have expressed alarm over the idea, while GOP allies have dismissed Trump’s call for grabbing a power reserved to the states.

Trump made the remarks during an interview Monday with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who left the bureau early last month to return to his podcast.

This is going nowhere Donny boy.

The election cannot be cancelled.
No state will cooperate,
.

Why hasn't he sued them? Old fuck is slipping.

Game over for democracy if this is implemented.

To benefit himself and his oligarchs. America.

Any number of reasons to get that toe in the door, and then do whatever, and argue about it later.

Is an infamous kook and a fokin L.O.C.O.
Get him out of power ASAP!

You want your stinking party to control elections nation wide, you're going to need a constitutional amendment ratified by 3/4 of the states and I don't see that one happening. You'll try to bluff, bluster and bully your way to doing it by fiat and I don't see that one gaining traction, either. It might, however, be the overreach that gets you out on your fat butt at last.

Also state rights The R's loved state rights when controlling women.

The Federal Govt cannot "cancel" an election.

A stste cannot cancel.
If it did so, that office will become vacant if no one is elected.
That includes the Federral branch.

This is an old fool bloviating.

Create enough “irregularities”, claim foreign interference, declare a national emergency, then the Feds seize ballot boxes.

They count the votes themselves. We lose senate seats.
