EO 13848 was written to defend America from attack — and to punish foreign enemies for meddling in our elections. Trump is trying to repurpose it as a tool to attack democracy from within. If he tries, we’re going to sue him into oblivion.

Trump say he has the power to "seize" ballots. But I co-wrote the order — and he's lying.
In an interview this week, the president said he wished he'd seized ballot boxes in 2020. However, he doesn't have anywhere close to the power to do so, as he claims.

Let me foot stomp this: TRUMP CANNOT SEIZE BALLOT BOXES.
No matter what he says about his “power” to meddle in elections.
But if he wants to be prosecuted for a slew of state crimes, maybe he should follow his dreams — and go for it.
