President Donald Trump asked Republican lawmakers to take control of the voting process across the country. He wants the federal government to take over a power that the U.S. Constitution clearly gives to individual states. This is a huge claim that goes against how elections have always worked in America.
According to The Washington Post, Trump spoke to right-wing host Dan Bongino and told Republicans to “take over” the elections and control the entire process. He said, “We should take over the voting, the voting, in at least 15 places.” He continued to push the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread fraud.
