Trump Prepares To Rig The Election

Republican Private Views on Trump

• 💬 Secret grand jury transcripts from the Georgia election interference case revealed Republicans' private opinions of Donald Trump.
• 💡 Senator Lindsey Graham called Trump's 2020 fake elector scheme "weird" and suggested Trump would believe "Martians came and stole votes."
• 🎭 Former Georgia State House Speaker David Ralston called the fake elector scheme "the craziest thing I've heard," and Mark Green reportedly said, "The things we do for the Orange Jesus."

Concerns for Future Elections

• 🎯 Despite Trump's low approval ratings and predictions of Democratic midterm wins, there's concern about a "replay of the 2020 election" in upcoming midterms.
• ⚠️ Trump views the 2026 midterms as "existential," leading to worries about potential actions to influence results.

Potential Election Interference Tactics

• 🛠️ Trump has already influenced Republicans in states like Texas, Ohio, Missouri, and North Carolina to redraw congressional districts ahead of schedule.
• 📊 He announced plans to direct the Commerce Department to conduct a new census excluding non-citizens, which could impact electoral votes and House seats.
• 🚫 Trump advocates for eliminating mail-in ballots and voting machines, falsely claiming they are fraudulent and less accurate than paper ballots.

Seizing Voting Machines

• ⚡ Trump expressed regret for not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines after the 2020 election, an idea previously suggested by Sydney Powell and Michael Flynn.
• 🚨 This raises questions about who would stop such an action in 2026, given potential appointments of officials with histories of election denialism.

Checks and Balances

• ⚖️ A conservative judiciary remains a main check on Trump's power, with the Supreme Court having previously ruled against some of his actions, such as the deployment of the National Guard to Chicago.
• ✅ The Supreme Court is set to hear a case regarding the legality of Trump's executive order barring late mail-in ballots, which could be significant given recent USPS guideline changes.
