“Amazing that the Republicans aren’t tougher on it,” Trump said in an interview Monday with former FBI official Dan Bongino. “The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over, we should take over the voting in at least many — 15 places.’ The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked.”
