"Trump is now calling for 'nationalizing' the midterms, meaning to put voting and the counting of votes under his administration’s control. He can’t do that, but his demand is a clear sign that he will not accept the public’ s verdict in November.
So it’s just being realistic to say that MAGA will try, somehow, to prevent voters from having their say."

"Donald Trump did not come up with the idea of nationalizing voting by himself. He did not pull the 15 number out of thin air. This is on his mind because it’s what he’s talking about with his closest advisors.
Donald Trump has a team working on a strategy to give him and the GOP an unbeatable advantage in the midterms later this year and in the next presidential election in 2028."

"Trump continues to use fake claims of voter fraud to justify his unconstitutional proposals for voting. Data doesn’t support Trump’s claims of widespread voting by non-citizens in federal elections. ...
Trump wants to disenfranchise legitimate voters, but it’s also about creating a narrative that the outcome of this election can’t be trusted—of course, only if Trump’s party loses."

As Will Sommer notes, as Trump tries dusting off the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him and resurrects the loony conspiracy theories bolstering that Big Lie, he is getting the 2020 "election loon gang" back together — e.g., Tulsi Gabbard, Dan Bongino.

It’s ItalyGate, which pins his loss to Joe Biden that year on an elaborate conspiracy in which Barack Obama and China teamed up to use Italian military satellites to zap the election away from him.
Trump boosted the idea this week in a series of posts on Truth Social."

there is a much simpler and cheaper solution :
Republicans decide who should be member of Congress or Senate...

@wdlindsy If all of the Red States (under control of the GOP) break bad for Trump, ie corrupt their election results, that’s it for the USA, without something drastic, a breakdown, revolution, something forceful (ie talking no longer works, force must be countered with force), our democratic republic no longer exists. We’ll be The Empire. For a primer, watch StarWars episodes 1-3.
