President Donald Trump has called to “nationalize” voting in the United States, alarming state leaders who oversee the process, as well as legal experts who say his takeover demand violates the Constitution. This comes as he continues to falsely claim he won the 2020 election, with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard overseeing an FBI raid last week to seize ballot boxes and other voting records in Fulton County, Georgia.
Gabbard, as spy chief, “has no statutory authority to be involved in a domestic election investigation,” says David Becker, director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. He says that since the failed effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, “an ecosystem of grift” has grown around Trump that profits from continuing to spread election denial even as courts have repeatedly thrown out their claims.
