We should take over the voting
The promise
In an interview with Dan Bongino, Trump urged Republicans to take control of voting in at least 15 unspecified places. He framed the proposal as a response to alleged election fraud and called for nationalizing voting. His allegations did not establish that widespread fraud had determined the elections he criticized. The supporting argument was that stronger national intervention could produce uniform safeguards and address failures in local administration. Critics argued that the proposal threatened state control of election administration and could turn partisan distrust into a justification for intervention. The remark was a new proposal about who should run elections, distinct from his older voter-identification pledges and January joke about not needing an election.
