This is due to the weak and screwed up staffing of the White House. DJT was (is?) surprisingly naive about the level of depravity in the political class. He foolishly came into office calling for deep cuts in the size of the President's staff. He truly believed all the dysfunction could be dealt with by clear headed business type management practices. He had no idea of how DC functions and the multiple layers of venality, depravity and mendacity that city wallows in. He really had no extended list of movement conservatives not neo-Rino neo-cons to fill his his staff. He was rolled regularly on major appointments such as Rex Tillerson, a classic establishment type who had reached the level where he let his staffers stack the deck in presenting decision options. His picking the establishment Mattis as Secretary of Defense is another (where did he get the name ‘mad dog’, is it a joke of some sort? Gummi Lion would be better.) But someone told DJT ‘he is great’ and Trump bought it. The constant infighting and back biting among the WH staff represents either a staff that is poorly managed or one that is full of saboteurs. Trump is trying but he has a very hard time getting traction as the definite attempts by the defense establishment to water down and engage in non-compliant planning for the Caravan invasion points to a lack of WH staff who are empowered to kick the bureaucrats a*s and tell them to comply right now or resign. Sigh, the depths of selfish collaboration, corruption and subversion in the political class in DC are hard to believe still by many Americans, DJT among them.

States have jurisdiction over voting laws not the federal government. If a state wants corrupt elections they’ll get it.
