A few weeks ago, Republican election officials in Colorado began receiving unsolicited calls and texts from a GOP consultant who said he was working with the Trump administration on “election integrity.”
“Grantham and Carly Koppes, who oversees elections in Weld County in northern Colorado, told CNN that Small made a specific request: Would they give a third party access to their election equipment?
Both declined.”
“Not only is that a hard no, I mean, you’re not even going to breathe on my equipment,” Koppes said.
“The outreach to the Colorado clerks is just one of a flurry of recent federal actions launched by the Trump administration and groups aligned with the president.”
“Samantha Tarazi, CEO of the nonprofit Voting Rights Lab, which has closely tracked state developments, said she believes Trump is gearing up “to use the power of his office to interfere in the 2026 election.”
“What started as an unconstitutional executive order — marching orders for state action regardless of its fate in court — has grown into a full federal mobilization to seize power over our elections,” she said.”

When I read that article from the NYT archive back in 2015 I knew he was going to be a disaster. Never dreamt he’d be this bad and have so much support for it.
It’s the support that’s the real problem. They’ve never loved the United States, they love some imaginary place they’ve conjured up in their fevered brows and make believe that it’s the United States. They’ve succeeded in killing the CPB, and many other agencies designed for the common good.
Maybe their goal is to get everyone who doesn’t agree with them to leave. Kind of attractive, until you realize that you’ve left the rest of the world at the mercy of these supercharged fascists.
With alla the gold trump tosses around one would think he could pay off the national debt hisownself and have enough left to line an upscale bordello with dancing ladies tossing out trump crypto coin to the drooling perps in the audience.
