Trump’s Desire To “Nationalize” Elections Means Push To Fix And Control Election Results: An Alarm Bell Danger To American Democracy!

“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!

The New Chair Of The House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff Of California, To Engage In “Combat” With Trump Administration In 2019

Southern California Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, who has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2001, will be the new Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, when the 116th Congress convenes on January 3, 2019.

Schiff is one of the most reputable members of the House, and has long taken critical positions on the foreign policy of Donald Trump, and of the Republican Party before Donald Trump.

Now, he will have the ability to engage in “combat” with the Trump Administration, and order investigations and subpoenas to get to the bottom of the Russian collusion scandal, and the obstruction of justice and abuse of power that has been going on without pause for the past two years.

Schiff is a true professional, and is not afraid or intimidated by Trump calling him “Little Schitt”, and Trump will rue the day that he decided to insult this reputable Congressman who is in the best tradition of statesmanship.

This author thinks that Schiff, becoming more influential, should be considered as Speaker of the House material to follow Nancy Pelosi in 2020, as he has the credentials, the experience, and the wisdom to lead Democrats into the 117th Congress in 2021 and after.

We do not know if Schiff has thought about this long range plan, but this author believes he should be on the short list of future Democratic party leaders in the House of Representatives.
