    Pro-Trump attorneys push executive order that would give Trump sweeping power over elections: Sources

    A group of pro-Trump attorneys and supporters is circulating a draft of a presidential executive order that uses alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 election -- of which there is no evidence -- to justify a national emergency declaration that they claim would give President Donald Trump sweeping power over voting, multiple sources told ABC News.

    The 17-page draft order, which sources say Trump has reviewed, would mandate the use of voter ID and hand-counted ballots, and ban mail-in ballots ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

    The attorneys pushing the draft order said they anticipate it would be incorporated into a planned executive order, which they expect to be issued soon.

    During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

    The Tulsi Gabbard raid and the IRS lawsuit represent corruption on a level no one could even have imagined—until Trump came along.

    Requiring safeguards to ensure that only Americans are voting in elections is the first duty of the American Government. God bless President Trump!

    I'd say the first duty would be to respect and observe the US Constitution.

    Ensuring that only Americans are voting is the most constitutional act a president can commit.

    Look to how Hungary subverted democracy and turned to autocracy. That's the model Trump wants to emulate.

    I think this is a little far-fetched. I mean, there hasn't been a coup attempt in this country since 2021.
