https://www.nationalmemo.com/trump-election-schemeKyle Griffin, executive producer of Weeknight, wrote on X that the detail was a "BIG FLAG.""Trump said during his interview with The New York Times that he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after his loss in the 2020 election. He doubted whether the Guard was 'sophisticated enough' to carry out the order effectively," Griffin said.

Trump's new plans included forcing Republican state lawmakers to redraw congressional lines in Republicans' favor. That step, however, was only the beginning. Trump is also pushing to make voter registration more difficult and end the use of voting machines and mail-in ballots.
"The administration has gutted the role of the nations cybersecurity agency in protecting elections; stocked the Justice Department, Homeland Security Department and FBI from top to bottom with officials who have denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election; given a White House audience to people who, like the president, promote the lie that he won the 2020 election; sued over state and local election policies that Trump opposes; and called for a new census that excludes noncitizens," the Post explained.
"The wide-ranging efforts seek to expand on some of the strategies he and his advisers and allies used to try to reverse the 2020 results that culminated in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021," the report added.

Sure, some red states have eagerly complied and done their part to legalize voter suppression, but it wont save the republicans from an apocalypse at the ballot box in November,

(12,493 posts)Venezuela, Greenland and NATO. He is murdering and abusing citizen of US liberal cities.
Every day he is personally directing another destruction of justice, an abuse of domestic tranquility, deterioration of our common defense and general welfare. He and people like him are the very reason why the US Constitution was written.
Of course he is going to rig, manipulate and steal the elections. Probably worse than what the GOP has done in the past. He is never going to let us vote again. Oh, he'll make it look like we voted but it won't count just like the votes didn't count in 2025, 2000, or 2004.
