In her Substack (February 17), Joyce Vance spells out how Trump is preparing to nationalize elections run by the Republican (MAGA) party in order to steal the election. The US Constitution is clear, that elections are run by the states and not the federal government. It is so written in Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the US Constitution :

“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”

Joyce Vance writes:

“He [Trump] wants to make sure he can steal the midterm elections if his party loses, and no better way to do them than to get election administration out of pesky officials who insist on doing a fair count. Hence Trump’s appeal to “nationalize” elections. He wants to take control.”

She continues:

“Here is a list of election officials in every state. If you aren’t already, get familiar with yours. And make sure they know you’ll be watching how they handle the meeting on February 25 [See Substack below for explanation about this meeting]. Call them or send them a letter in the next day or two, letting them know that you know Donald Trump isn’t entitled to “nationalize” our elections and you expect them to uphold the law.”
