"Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting."
"Peter Ticktin, a MAGA activist in favor of the executive order, told the Post that we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes, and that the president has to be able to deal with it, including by banning mail-in ballots and certain voting machines."
"Trump told Dan Bongino, the conservative commentator and former deputy director of the FBI, that The Republicans should say, We want to take over, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places' earlier this month. The Republicans oughta nationalize the voting, he added."
Pro-Trump activists are working with the White House on a 17-page draft executive order that would declare a national emergency based on alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 election. This declaration would grant the president extraordinary powers over voting, including mandating voter ID requirements and banning mail-in ballots. Activists argue that provable foreign intrusion constitutes a national security emergency justifying such executive action. Trump has repeatedly alleged elections are rigged and has previewed plans to implement these voting restrictions in upcoming midterm elections. He has also suggested Republicans should nationalize voting procedures across multiple states.
