“The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over. We should take over the voting ... in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they’re counting votes.”

Although this most un-American statement is available on news sources everywhere, I decided to source that quotation from Fox News to assure readers that it is not made up by some “left-wing lunatic.”

Here is the language of Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the United States 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.

So, the President of the United States, the Leader of the “Republican Party,” which has long championed the Constitution, checks and balances, and states’ rights and vehemently opposed overreach by the national government is calling on his party to “take control” of elections.
