Pritzker: Trump, to win elections, will "assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

He'll TRY to assume control of the ballot boxes and count the votes himself.

Each state has its own election, different ballots, means of tabulating, etc. It would take the rest of his lifetime to try to count the ballots from all the 50 state elections.

And WHO is going to believe his count??? Ha!
