Democrats have reacted angrily to reports that a group of MAGA activists has been circulating a 17-page draft executive order laying out accusations that China interfered in the 2020 election as grounds for President Donald Trump to seize control of this year’s midterms.
If Trump were to sign an order declaring such an emergency, he would be empowered to ban mail-in ballots and the use of voting machines as unsafe, effectively bypassing Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which assigns all authority over elections to state legislatures and Congress.
