Remember the uproar over election fraud and interference during the Biden Administration? This resulted in legislation, proposed by the Democrats, for federal oversight that was defeated at the hands of Republicans aided by the defection of two Senate Democrats. We’re puzzled as to why the Trump White House now thinks it’s a good idea. It’s not. Oversight of elections, just like with education, needs to stay local.
