“Free and Fair Elections” are the lifeblood of American democracy, and of any democracy around the world.
Without such processes, it means authoritarian controls and dictates the lives of 340 million Americans.
Elections have always been held, conducted, and results counted, by state and local governments, never by the federal government.
But now, Donald Trump is calling for “nationalizing” elections, focusing on 15 states, those that are seen as “Swing” states, and also counties, that have produced results that are unfavorable to Donald Trump and his policies and beliefs.
Trump has already claimed “voter fraud”, without any evidence, that although he lost the state of Minnesota in three national elections, that actually, he won that state, and the results showing his loss were “fixed”, when that is exactly what he wishes to do in that “Blue” state and others.
Clearly, Trump is terrified that if the Democrats gain control of either or both chambers of Congress in the Midterm 2026 Elections, they will pursue investigations and subpoenas into his administration’s actions, and would likely move to impeach him and many of his Cabinet Officers for malfeasance.
Trump is clearly desperate to eliminate his rivals in the Democratic Party, and to defeat the small number of Republicans who have dared to challenge him.
This is a threat that has been perceived for a long time, and now, with the seizure illegally by FBI agents of election records in Fulton County, Georgia, and the involvement of the Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard in the action, is extremely alarming, and totally outside of her area of responsibility.
It is clear that Donald Trump has no scruples, and will do everything illegally to control the election results for 2026 and 2028, until and when he is stopped dead in his tracks by legal actions of his critics.
This is an alarming threat to the upcoming elections and the rule of law!

In a sane, functional country, the president would be impeached/removed immediately, as he’s a danger to us all.
A newly proposed congressional redistricting map would put our neck of the woods in Virginia into a blue district. Currently we’re in a red district.
