If President Trump tries to take control of the midterm elections by executive order, he'll be defying the Constitution in an attempt to trample the authority of Congress and the states and the rights of voters. The time to draw a line is now, says @walterolson.bsky.social.

Pay attention. A president who lost a presidential election and then committed crimes to try to overthrow that presidential election is certainly a president who would do whatever he could to fuck with, take over, or try to cancel a midterm election.👇
Trump today: “We should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting because we have states that are so crooked.”
