In furtherance of his dictatorial ambitions, this last weekend Trump announced that his administration should "take over" the elections in at least 15 states. Apparently he means any state where Democrats might win. Trump's announcement followed the win in the Texas special election for a state senator by the Democratic candidate. The D won by 14 points in a district that Trump won by 17 points just over a year ago. Whenever a D wins, the Republicans claim "election fraud" as if no one would choose a D over an R candidate. Or just maybe, the Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024 are now regretting that decision and crossed the street to vote for the D candidate.

In any event, "taking over elections" is expressly prohibited by the U.S. Constitution, not that Trump has ever read it or cares in the slightest about it. As Trump continues to insist that he won "by a lot" the 2020 election, knowing in fact that he lost, it can't help but be interesting to see what Kash Patel's FBI finds from their raid of Georgia's 2020 election ballots that have already been counted three times, a first count and two recounts. Will the FBI, under Patel, suddenly find the 11,870 Trump votes that Trump asked, basically demanded that Rathsenburger find for him?

November 2026 is gonna' be interesting as Dictator Trump works to ensure Republican election victories, regardless of who the voters choose.
