Trump Reveals Sinister New Plot to Game Elections

(And here we are. I was talking about just this last week and got dog piled.)

President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to seize control of elections and place voting under federal authority, in one of his most explicit signs yet that he wants to game the system.

In a podcast interview with Dan Bongino, his former FBI deputy director, Trump suggested Republicans should “nationalize” elections around the country by taking over the way ballots are cast and counted.

“The Republicans should say, we want to take over,” he said, claiming without evidence that people were being “brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally.”

“We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

The president’s comments came less than a week after the FBI raided an elections office outside Atlanta, seizing ballots and other voting records from the 2020 election in Georgia.
