      No, but he literally does not control elections, as they’re run at the state level. It’s why he’s going for more work-around ideas like working to villainize things like vote-by-mail. It’s the same play as it ever has been for Republicans, make it harder to vote so only the rich who support them can actually make it out to vote. Make it increasingly difficult for the lower classes to have their voices heard. The dumb yokels may be the loudest Trump supporters but one of the biggest blocs of Trump voters were business owners and other relatively wealthy citizens.

        That’s why MAGAs have been making a concerted effort to systematically take over elections boards etc.
