But significant policy changes remain largely out of reach, election watchers say.<\/p><p>Despite multiple executive orders, Justice Department actions, key agency shakeups and pressure on Congress to enact a wide-ranging voter citizenship bill, Trump has so far been unsuccessful at expanding the executive branch\u2019s power over administering federal, state and local elections.<\/p><p>\u201cIf his goals were to undermine election security in the states, he\u2019s failed. If his goals were to seize power over elections through executive order, he\u2019s failed. If his goals were to seize sensitive voter data from the states, he\u2019s failed. If his goal was to pass the SAVE America Act, he\u2019s failed,\u201d said David Becker, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Center for Election Innovation &amp; Research. \u201cI can\u2019t think of a single victory he\u2019s had in this space, not one.\u201d<\/p><p>Now, it appears Trump will consolidate his administration\u2019s message that elections need to be fixed and that the federal government should be the entity to make those fixes, and put it directly to the American people in a televised address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really, really big news, and our country has to shape up,\u201d Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday. \u201cBut that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to be talking about Thursday. It doesn\u2019t get bigger because without free and fair elections, you don\u2019t have a country.\u201d<\/p><p>Since returning to the White House, the president has issued two executive actions aimed at requiring proof of citizenship to vote, although each has been blocked by the courts. The administration has <span><u>hollowed out<\/u><\/span> the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the unit under the Department of Homeland Security tasked with helping secure elections. And he recently <span><u>fired two Democratic<\/u><\/span> members of the Election Assistance Commission after the lone remaining Republican member resigned. The move completely vacated the federal agency that determines election management guidelines.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>The DOJ has been the epicenter of Trump\u2019s efforts to scrutinize the results of the 2020 election and remake the administration of future ones. Ahead of the midterms in November, the Justice Department canceled election-integrity training sessions for prosecutors and FBI agents, deleted a 281-page guide to prosecuting election offenses and fired most of the lawyers in its Public Integrity Section, among other actions, <span><u>NOTUS reported last month<\/u><\/span>.<\/p><p>And perhaps the most striking statistic: As of Tuesday, the DOJ has lost 15 consecutive lawsuits seeking to access unredacted voter rolls from individual states.<\/p><p>\u201c0-15 should never happen. What that means is you brought frivolous cases, and then, in addition to having brought the frivolous cases, when you were getting handed defeat after defeat after defeat, no, there\u2019s no grown-up there to review this and say, \u2018Hey, wait a second, should we reel this in?\u2019\u201d Becker, who is also a former DOJ lawyer, told NOTUS. \u201cThe president has actually undermined his own efforts because there\u2019s not an election official in the country that\u2019s scared of the DOJ right now.\u201d<\/p><p>The FBI has investigated right-wing theories that Dominion Voting Systems machines were hacked by Venezuela and has raided an elections office in Georgia on similar suspicions. Those unsubstantiated claims were at the heart of a lawsuit that Dominion brought against Fox News that was settled for <span><u>$787 million<\/u><\/span> in 2023.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1214\">Gallego Campaign Gives $19,000 in Swalwell Money to Sexual Violence Group<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration and the Republican National Committee, <span><u>which has been at the forefront<\/u><\/span> of election-related court battles, have notched some wins, including the Supreme Court\u2019s decisions to <span><u>weaken the Voting Rights Act<\/u><\/span>.<\/p><p>\u201cPresident Trump is more focused than any prior president on preserving the integrity of American elections,\u201d Jason Snead, the executive director of the nonpartisan advocacy group Honest Elections Project, told NOTUS in a statement. \u201cThe contrast with the left could not be more profound. Democratic politicians, activists, and lawyers have spent decades and countless millions of dollars suing to dismantle even the most basic election safeguards, advocating for noncitizen voting.\u201d<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>Trump has voiced a belief that the election system is rigged throughout his entire career in politics. In 2016, Trump claimed Sen. Ted Cruz <span><u>\u201cillegally stole\u201d<\/u><\/span> the Iowa caucuses from him and called the Republican primaries <span><u>\u201crigged and boss controlled.\u201d<\/u><\/span> More recently, Trump has claimed that California election officials rigged the Los Angeles mayoral election against Republican candidate <span><u>Spencer Pratt<\/u><\/span>.<\/p><p>And even though dozens of lawsuits contesting the 2020 presidential election results were dismissed or dropped for lack of evidence or standing \u2014 some by judges Trump appointed \u2014 the president remains fixated on a theory that his loss that year was the result of a conspiracy against him.<\/p><p>\u201cI would focus more on the actions than on the rhetoric,\u201d Richard Hasen, an election law professor at UCLA, said of Trump\u2019s upcoming address. \u201cI think the rhetoric is old, and I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to convince people by claiming some kind of conspiracy, especially in 2020, which is probably the most investigated election in American history.\u201d<\/p><p>On Capitol Hill, Republican lawmakers were hesitant to comment or speculate on Trump\u2019s address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI happened to talk to him this morning. He didn\u2019t mention it,\u201d Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) said Wednesday. \u201cI didn\u2019t ask him, so I have no idea. It\u2019ll be like a box of chocolates. You never know what you\u2019re going to get.\u201d<\/p><p>Told that the speech would focus at least in part on the 2020 election, Kennedy declined to comment because he didn\u2019t know what exactly the president was going to say.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>Despite the Oval Office\u2019s struggles to wrangle control of the electoral system, Trump\u2019s consistent claim that voting in America is \u201crigged\u201d has had a major impact on the most important part of the process: voting itself. A veteran nonpartisan election administration policy expert, deeply plugged into election administration across the country, told NOTUS that the <span><u>president\u2019s focus<\/u><\/span> on the SAVE America Act \u2014 and the evidence-free claim undergirding it that millions of undocumented immigrants could illegally cast ballots unless it is passed \u2014 has once again kicked up death threats against the civil servants who organize and manage balloting.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is absolutely true that the national conversation drives what is happening in states,\u201d said the expert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of professional retaliation.<\/p><p>Trump\u2019s speech, coming scant months ahead of the midterms for which federal election administrators have spent months planning, could have a dramatic effect. It\u2019s too late for wholesale changes, the election expert said, but there is plenty of time to foster distrust.<\/p><p>\u201cI know it\u2019s a little pedantic, but it\u2019s the thing that worries me a lot,\u201d the expert said. \u201cHow scary the narrative is. If I didn\u2019t understand, how uncertain would I be feeling about participating in November?\u201d<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1212\">Lindsey Graham\u2019s Campaign Committee Has $2.3 Million in Leftover Cash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight\u2019s primetime address, which is expected to focus on elections, is the latest way the president is trying to influence how they&#8217;re administered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trump-white-house"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
