The diffusion of power between state and federal government was intended to \u2018preserve and restore to the people their equal and sacred rights of election [against] the influence of ambitious or popular characters, or in times of popular commotion, and when faction and party spirit run high.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=4131\">Thune sarcastically slaps Trump back after president refuses to endorse him<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s latest gambit was prompted by news that New Jersey accidentally added roughly 6,600 noncitizens to the state\u2019s voter rolls through a glitch in its DMV software, with roughly 400 actually casting ballots in 2023 and 2024 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s 0-18 court record on voter data demands reflects a broader pattern of judicial rejection of his election-related claims. <\/p>\n<p>Legal experts argue that Trump&#8217;s DOJ is using the noncitizen voting issue\u2014which affects less than 0.01% of votes cast\u2014as a pretext to gain access to voter databases that could enable partisan purges. Constitutional scholars note that the Framers intentionally distributed election authority between states and the federal government to prevent exactly this type of centralized manipulation. <\/p>\n<p>Despite repeated legal defeats, Trump&#8217;s administration continues filing similar suits, suggesting the litigation is less about addressing actual election fraud and more about creating a veneer of legitimacy for undermining state election administration. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=4129\">Polling confirms: There\u2019s only one way for Trump to win \u2014 and it\u2019s not good<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump has made it clear that he plans on rigging the 2026 midterm elections, from delivering a speech touting unsubstantiated claims of meddling in the 2020 presidential election and trying to purge people from the voter rolls to attempting to thwart mail-in balloting and potentiall&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
