President’s speech, declassification of documents and heightened claims of noncitizen voting have experts concerned

A series of moves by Donald Trump’s administration to sow doubt in the integrity of US elections have intensified concern among voting experts – and sparked hope among election deniers – that it could declare a national emergency.

The White House and US federal agencies have released a string of documents this summer – including disputed analyses of alleged voting by noncitzens and historical intelligence memos – stoking expectations that the US president could move to exert greater control over November’s US midterm elections.

Trump used a primetime television address in July to claim – again – that US elections were vulnerable to foreign manipulation, and repeat the lie that the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden, was stolen.

    Honestly, if his actions lead to the dissolution of America, then he will be a great man of history, if accidentally.

    Edit: couple of butthurt Americans don’t realize their country is the reason we’re all going to die of climate change or war, lol.

      No what people are getting pissy about is calling Trump great in any aspect. You could just called the ultimate outcome beneficial and folks wouldn’t be pissed. Hell I do it all the time, just don’t give the pissbag any credit. Fuckers deserving of damnatio memoriae and only damnatio memoriae.
