Another somewhat breathless article positing a planned executive-branch takeover of elections, this time declaring a "national emergency".

There's no telling what Trump might include in an executive order, but whether he can actually carry any of these sweeping proposals out (constitutionality aside) is another story altogether.

The midterms are less than 9 months away, which is simply not enough time to extensively alter voting tech or procedures.

@mattblaze Seems like the complexity of 3000+ counties, each having their own machines and processes is maybe a natural, but unintended defense against most shenanigans?
