"When Trump came into his second term, he tried to "get rid of mail voting, he tried to change machine technology, he tried to impose voter ID-almost all of that has been thrown out by the courts," Atlantic staff writer Michael Scherer said last night. "What we've seen in the last couple weeks, though, is something else: He's using the full power of the federal government ... to suck up information to try and confirm the debunked theories that he has about the 2020 elections.""
"This week, Donald Trump called for Republicans to "nationalize" the upcoming elections-even though state and local officials are charged with this role."
"The president, Scherer added, is acting "in the hope that he might find a spark in all the smoke that's been created by his allies.""
Donald Trump called for Republicans to "nationalize" upcoming elections despite state and local officials being responsible for administering them. Earlier efforts targeted mail voting, voting machines, and voter ID requirements, but the courts rejected most of those measures. Recent federal activity has focused on collecting information that could be used to try to validate disproven claims about the 2020 election. The federal actions aim to gather data and evidence amid lingering allegations, with the intention of finding a catalyst among the controversies created by allies promoting those claims.
