"Trump said that immigrants were brought to the United States to vote, and they vote illegally. And the, you know, it's amazing that the Republicans aren't tougher on it. 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 we have states that I won, that show I didn't win,"
"Trump's comments to Dan Bongino, the podcast host turned short-lived former deputy director of the FBI, come less than a week after FBI agents served a criminal search warrant to obtain nearly 700 boxes of ballots and other election material from Fulton county, long a target of Trump's false claims of election fraud. Trump reportedly held a short phone call with the agents, alongside the national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, to congratulate them as the raid concluded."
Donald Trump suggested that Republican state officials should take over and nationalize elections in 15 states to prevent undocumented immigrants from voting and to protect Republicans from being voted out. He claimed immigrants were brought to the United States to vote and that they vote illegally, and he criticized Republicans for not being tougher on the issue. Claims that noncitizens are voting in numbers large enough to affect an election are false. He emphasized county-level wins while minimizing population differences between urban and rural areas. The Constitution gives each state responsibility to govern its elections. FBI agents executed a search warrant in Fulton County seizing nearly 700 boxes of ballots and election material.
