Democracy experts believe there is no longer any doubt about Trump’s desire to interfere with this fall’s elections.

“We should not be waiting for the next shoe to drop,”
said Wendy Weiser, vice-president for democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice.
🆘“There is a full-blown effort to seize control of some of the mechanisms of our elections and to lay the foundation for interfering in upcoming elections.”

The president has no power over federal elections,
and the US constitution is not ambiguous on the matter.
Article I, section 4 of the document gives states the power to run elections.
Congress, the constitution says, can pass nationwide rules for federal elections.

Nonetheless, Trump and his allies have suggested the president may still be able to wield some kind of emergency power to take control of the electoral process.
“The president’s authority is limited in his role with regard to elections except where there is a threat to the national sovereignty of the United States
– as I think that we can establish with the porous system that we have,”
#Cleta #Mitchell, a conservative lawyer and Trump ally said on a podcast interview last year.
⚠️“Then, I think maybe the president is thinking he will exercise some emergency powers to protect the federal elections going forward.”

Declaring a national emergency unlocks about 150 statutory powers for the president, including things like shutting down radio stations, suspending certain military regulations, and to sanction foreign countries.

But none of those powers “even come close to giving the president any authority over elections”, Weiser said.
“The president has zero emergency powers over elections.”

The concern about the president using emergency powers has only been amplified by the presence of #Tulsi #Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, at the Fulton county raid.
Gabbard, whose presence as an intelligence official on a domestic matter has caused widespread outrage, is said to be investigating voting equipment and foreign interference.

Among others, Gabbard is briefing Mitchell and #Kurt #Olsen, another lawyer who was involved in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, on her investigation, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Mitchell declined to comment on those briefings, but said she understood Trump’s comments to be more about the need to change federal voting laws.
“All of the election statutes need significant revision, updating, and reform. And many of us are working on that,” Mitchell said in an email. “Clearly there are far too many election officials nationwide who treat the law as optional suggestions. And have instituted procedures that are contrary to law. That happened in spades in 2020 and is all too common every election. Sloppy, poor administration and intentional disregard of basic statutory requirements. We see it everywhere.”

There is no evidence of widespread fraud in 2020 or in any other election.

The White House press secretary, #Karoline #Leavitt, has framed Trump’s comments similarly.
Trump subsequently undercut those efforts to downplay his comments,
criticizing Democratic cities such as Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta, saying:
🔥“If they can’t count the votes legally and honestly, then somebody else should take over.”

Beyond unspecified actions to take control of state election processes, there are other pathways for Trump to try to interfere in the election process.
#Steve #Bannon, the influential conservative personality and former Trump strategist, has called for Trump to deploy ICE agents at the polls.
Such an effort would violate a federal law that prohibits federal troops from being at the polls “unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States”.
❌“We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November.
We’re not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again,”
Bannon said on his podcast on Tuesday.
“And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen.”

The Trump administration has already shown its willingness to use emergency powers to try to expand the president’s authority.
Last spring, the Trump administration invoked the
💥"Alien Enemies Act",
an 18th-century law that allows the government to deport immigrants without full due process.

The United States, the government argued, was subject to an invasion by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Federal judges have since blockedthat order and expressed skepticism it is a legitimate invasion.
Trump has also claimed he has emergency powers to impose tariffs, though the supreme court appears poised to reject that argument.

Part of the reason Trump is talking about nationalizing elections now may be to try to get the public to accept an idea that is obviously illegal.

Bannon's fury at CIA Director Ratcliffe highlights a perceived hypocrisy in political probes. He argues these Congressional hearings, meant for serious inquiry, devolve into casual exchanges, allowing opponents to score points. Hypocrisy shines through as Bannon champions Republican investigations while resisting inquiries into Trump allies, dubbing it "political information warfare." Curious how this dynamic plays out?

@VedaDalsette
People are going to great lengths not to appear as if they are politicizing the shooting at the #TrumpRally yesterday.

But we ALL must admit that if it weren't for the people he surrounds himself with (like #Bannon & #Stone), we wouldn't be.

We all know what T****'s #Brownshits are capable of, and that is the ONLY reason people are wondering if there isn't really something sinister going on.

Donald Trump, facing a cash crunch that puts him at a severe disadvantage to President Biden, dined on Thursday night with a small group of donors including the hedge fund billionaire #Robert #Mercer and his daughter #Rebekah, according to two people with knowledge of the event.
Mr. Trump’s dinner companions also included the entrepreneur #Omeed #Malik, the cosmetics firm founder #Trish #McEvoy and the real estate management billionaire #Richard #Kurtz, one of the people said.
The Mercers, Ms. McEvoy and Mr. Kurtz did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for Mr. Malik declined to comment, and a Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

The Mercers were a critical source of support behind Mr. Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential election.
In addition to giving donations, they pushed him to make changes to his political team, including making #Kellyanne #Conway his campaign manager and #Stephen #Bannon his chief executive.

The Mercer family was conspicuously quiet during Mr. Trump’s 2020 re-election effort
