It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?

Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.
