I hate to say it, but the courts can’t do it, legislation can’t do i....so how’s he going to do it?

Unconstitutional federal takeover of state sovereignty is NOT a good precedent. Trump needs a Constitutional Amendment for the feds to interfere with state elections including presidential elections.

Great unconstitutional federal push for “good” can easily turned into almost immediate overthrow of a Free America by a rogue unconstitutional federal government, once the wrong people, like now, are in power even for a short time.

Better is using the bully pulpit to influence states to stop the steal.

Given my druthers, I would prefer seeing Trump get the nomination over any other contender. I trust that if he gets back into the White House, he’s bringing a flamethrower to purge the Swamp. I will likely vote for him in the primaries, because I trust that he would be merciless in his cleansing of the FedGov. I don’t think DeSantis is a bad man. I like him a lot. I also worry that, because he’s a politician, he’s broke. They all rely on someone else’s money to get elected, and that means they owe favors to the rich and powerful. Trump has no such constraints. Can any Republican win the WH in 2024, or ever again, after what we have seen the past week? My Magic 8 Ball is not optimistic.

He can demand all he wants. States have the last say in the matter.

“To eliminate cheating, I will immediately demand voter ID, same-day voting, and only paper ballots.”

Nice demand there. Too bad you didn't change the election laws when you were President.

The federal government could have coerced the states to change their election laws through financial incentives. This was done in the past when highway funds were tied to states raising the drinking age.

He didn’t do anything about while he was in office before. I think he wouldn’t do anything about it a second time either.

Words, words, words...kind of like how he didn’t do anything while American cities were burning.

This election cheating can only be changed if we shoot and kill the cheaters.

I support the man and will vote him again. But elections are state issues as has been established by the courts.

If he wants to open Pandora’s Box and try to get the Fed’s to control them, the Democrats will be licking their chops. It’s been a thing for them since Biden got in office.

And giving the gist of the below article, if the math is right and the fact that Democrats either control too many states and/or that GOPe Republicans don’t seem to care as long as they’re getting paid, it ain’t looking good. Doubt we’ll ever have a Republican President again, short of some very drastic events happening and changing things.

Lake’s defeat means that the Arizona electoral system will continue to function as it has since 2020, and that Republicans will be unable to win any statewide election in the foreseeable future. The same is true of any state where such rules persist.

This is my estimation of the current electoral map as it stands. Whilst NV and GA are currently unwinnable, both have GOP governors who could - but may not - change this by 2024. Regardless, the Democrats have now guaranteed victory in 270 EVs worth of States.

President Donald J. Trump outlined his “National Greatness Agenda”>>> I like the “More Perfect Union “ Slogan.

“We will do whatever it takes to bring back honesty, confidence, and trust in our elections,” Trump declared. “To eliminate cheating, I will immediately demand voter ID, same-day voting, and only paper ballots. … And we want all votes counted by election night.”

OK, he can demand it. But it's not going to happen. Voting laws in each state are set by that state's legislature - how is Trump going to change voting laws for each state which currently allows vote-by-mail?

I don't think it's going to be possible to get that toothpaste back in the tube. There's no way (for example) that California, under a Democrat legislature and Democrat governor, is ever going to abolish vote-by-mail and ballot harvesting tactics. Either Trump (or DeSantis or whoever) puts together an effective ballot harvesting machine to compete with the Democrats, or we lose in 2024.

DeSantis can do this too and has the great benefit of experience in creating the template and executing it on the state level.

He will never beat the vote fraud again. He should have done this when he was president. Instead he back down. And no, this comment does not mean that I would not support him.

He has a way to go, now that FTX / Ukraine have been outed as literal money-laundering, and yet we still have this:

“””Trump declared. “To eliminate cheating, I will immediately demand voter ID, same-day voting, and only paper ballots. … And we want all votes counted by election night.”””


In the 2016 election season Trump talked about the issues that concerned Americans for many years. e.g. illegal immigration, factories being shipped to China.

Now, he has added election intregity to the list of issues that have concerned Americans for many years.

Neither Trump nor DeSantis can win under the current rules of engagement.

He can demand whatever he wants but they’re not going to give it to him.
