During an executive order signing to end the government shutdown, Trump told reporters he thinks Republicans should take election rights away from some states that the president did not win in 2020.
He does not have that authority.
Trump used three prominent swing states as examples.
“Take a look at Detroit, take a look at Pennsylvania, take a look at Philadelphia. You go take a look at Atlanta. Look at some of the places that… horrible corruption on elections.”
In a statement, Governor Whitmer says Michigan’s elections are safe and secure, and “continue to be run at the state level as clearly stated in the United States Constitution.”
Prominent Republican strategist and Trump-ally Steve Bannon has said ICE agents would be sent to polling places in this year’s midterm elections.
