The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

This should alarm every American. Trump is shutting out independent election observers while preparing to send his own DOJ monitors to polling places. That's a page out of Putin's playbook. Our elections belong to the people — not Donald Trump.

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades
The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.
