"Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) publicly undercut President Donald Trump's push to federalize America's elections on Thursday, flatly warning he did not support the idea, which would require a constitutional amendment. The proposal, first floated by the president on Tuesday in a podcast interview with Dan Bongino, his former FBI deputy director, came alongside Trump's familiar unsubstantiated claims that he won states where he was officially defeated in past presidential elections, which he again branded crooked."
"I do strongly believe in voter ID, I think that's absolutely the right answer. Unfortunately, as you know, to implement that federally would require basically amending the Constitution, which is, you know, the bar for that is very high from state legislatures to super-majorities in Congress. In our partisan age, it's highly unlikely that happens as much as I wish it would."
Senator Tim Sheehy rejected federalizing America's elections, stating such a change would require a constitutional amendment. President Donald Trump proposed federal control of voting, first mentioning it during a podcast with Dan Bongino and repeating the idea on NBC. Trump asserted, without evidence, that he won states he officially lost and labeled those elections crooked. Sheehy affirmed that elections belong at the state level and described the constitutional amendment process as extremely difficult amid partisan divisions. Sheehy expressed strong support for voter ID as an election security measure and urged federal cooperation with states to ensure election integrity.
