“President Trump doubled down on his view that Republicans should ‘nationalize’ voting in the U.S., questioning whether certain states should continue running their own elections as spelled out in the Constitution,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Trump: “I want to see elections be honest, and if a state can’t run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it.”

He added: “Take a look at Detroit…take a look at Philadelphia, take a look at Atlanta… The federal government should not allow that. The federal government should get involved. These are agents of the federal government to count the vote. If they can’t count the vote legally and honestly, then somebody else should take over.”

Applegrove: is Trump couching his vile, antidemocratic SAVE act in this "nationalize elections" garbage to make the SAVE Act seem like less of a threat? Like it is cushion sized instead of the threat it really is: BIG!
