States run the elections.

The US president just today said that Republicans should "nationalize the voting" in future elections.

  • It certainly gets us to keep talking about him. Which seems to be his primary skill. It does not have any basis in reality, however.

    • This is what people keep saying until the administration does something and then dares the courts to stop them.

  • Well that's nice (i.e. an impeachable, despicable offense), but it doesn't actually change how elections are run.

  • He also said his polls are the best they've ever been today. Trump works hard to cultivate an aura of inevitability, but he simply does not have the power to make false things true by declaring them so.
