"The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trump's threats to "nationalize" elections in fifteen states, the recent F.B.I. raid to seize 2020 voting records at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, and the ways in which the Administration might meddle with a free and fair vote in 2026. Their guest, Richard Hasen, is the director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at U.C.L.A.'s School of Law."
""I actually think that now is the time to be preparing for this," Hasen says. "I think states and localities should think about getting injunctions from federal courts against Donald Trump to prevent him from interfering with the tabulation of ballots."

Donald Trump threatened to 'nationalize' elections in fifteen states, raising concerns about federal takeover of ballot counting. An F.B.I. raid seized 2020 voting records at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, intensifying scrutiny of election administration. Officials warned about potential Administration meddling in the 2026 vote and the need to protect free, fair elections. Legal counsel urged states and localities to prepare now by seeking federal-court injunctions to block attempts to interfere with tabulation. Preparation includes court filings, strengthened local election procedures, and vigilance to ensure ballot integrity and lawful tabulation processes.
