Notice the pattern. ❌ Control the plot with lies about elections. ❌ Control the process with executive orders and lawsuits. ❌ Control the players by installing election deniers in power.

President Trump tried to seize control of elections through executive order. A federal judge blocked it. 23 states + DC stood together and won. In America, states run elections. Not the president. Our electoral systems are safe and secure!

The Constitution gives states—not the federal government—the power to run elections. That safeguard is by design. It means no one person can control the system. As @joannalydgate.bsky.social put it, "Trump can’t do everything, everywhere, all at once.” www.wbur.org/news/2026/04...
