Former President Donald Trump has called for Republicans to “nationalize the voting” process in upcoming elections, a move that critics say could conflict with the U.S. Constitution. Trump continues to assert, without evidence, that the 2020 presidential election was manipulated.
These proposals come as part of Trump’s broader efforts to influence election procedures and challenge established state control over voting. Legal experts and election officials have repeatedly dismissed claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
**Why this matters**
The U.S. Constitution grants states the authority to manage elections, and efforts to centralize control could raise legal and constitutional questions. Changes to election oversight may impact voter access and election integrity, making this a significant issue for future electoral processes.
