Behind a 17-page plan to federalize voting in the name of “foreign interference” lies a larger story about Congress, emergency powers, and a Constitution drifting out of focus.
This is exactly how Hitler took control of Germany. Using existing laws to eradicate democracy, and undermining those whose job it was to apply checks and balances.
The bottom line is Trump is a liar. He says he’s never heard of the plan because he doesn’t want to answer questions about it. He also denied knowing about Project 2025 during the 2024 election campaign only to turn around and implement it on day one. Trump doesn’t care about the constitution or congressional powers. I hope all of the GOP senators and congresspeople know that they are completely irrelevant in Trump’s power grab.
Outrageous assumption on behalf of Trump and his Goonies. The U.S. Constitution still stands as the governing doctrine of our elections. I reject their interpretation.
You do Sue, as do I...but with Congress and SCOTUS enslaved to Trump and his cabal of fanatics, your democracy is in danger.
I suspect when history looks at all this, Trump, Putin and Netanyehu are up to their ears in collusion and criminality. But for now, Americans must rise to defend their democracy, before it is lost.
There is evidence that he tapered with the last election. He knows exactly what he’s doing! This is an attempt to get control over the election and make it look like he won. Don’t forget, numbers are important to him. He doesn’t care how he retains power. He has no intention of losing the next coup.
First Trump went to the extreme with US programs and supports destroying every protection under the guise of saving money. Then Trump pushed immigration to the point we needed ICE. Stirring up hate, using derogatory talk and the, us vs. them, like he uses divide and conquer to cause friction between Americans. With the Epstein situation getting worse, his polling going down, his tariffs causing trouble he is becoming more desperate. Already there have been killings on boats in international seas, many are being put in concentration camps, getting pulled out of cars and two Americans murdered by ICE. Now an illegal war started with Iran. All of this behavior is dictatorship. Beware because the next threat is an attempt to take over voting.
What Won’t Trump Do to Win? The 2026 U.S. election stands as a defining moment for American democracy. The risks confronting our electoral system are not abstract or distant—they are immediate, coordinated, and dangerously real.
Federal overreach, intimidation of election officials, manipulation of voting procedures, and the systematic dismantling of longstanding safeguards have created new barriers for voters, eroded public trust, and threatened the very foundation of self-government.
But if history teaches us anything, it is that the defense of democracy does not, and cannot, come from Washington alone. State and local leaders, election officials, and ordinary citizens have always been the first and last line of defense against threats to free and fair elections.

I fear he will use this war to as the next effort to gain control, stall, eliminate elections.
