The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election."
He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING."

One of the biggest cop-outs in Western civilization is to address a difficult social ill with the words “ there ought to be a law”.
Because it’s rare that there isn’t a law.
The cop-out is that the law is often not applied.
And we complain instead of insisting that the law be enforced.
