Where are all the states rights conservatives ... they must be going crazy???



https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-vows-change-elections-run-202431817.html

"President Donald Trump on Monday vowed more changes to the way elections are conducted in the U.S., but based on the Constitution there is little to nothing he can do on his own.

Relying on false information and conspiracy theories that he's regularly used to explain away his 2020 election loss, Trump pledged on his social media site that he would do away with both mail voting — which remains popular and is used by about one-third of all voters — and voting machines — some form of which are used in almost all of the country's thousands of election jurisdictions. These are the same systems that enabled Trump to win the 2024 election and Republicans to gain control of Congress."

States Rights are a Democratic Issue now. Mostly those of us disinterested in playing nice or returning to the status quo when the regime falls.
