CNN: Trump calls on Republicans to ‘nationalize’ future elections.
Does this mean the end of state run elections?

@Sigmundkapje @surethingwhitey that's the plan, yeah. But, it remains true it requires cooperation of states that are unlikely to cooperate with the plan. Some Republican states (e.g. Texas) have obeyed in advance, by sending voter data to the federal government. Trump was likely to win the very red states, regardless of interventions. Though, I guess Texas Republicans just had a wake-up call with the recent state Senate district that swung 31 points from +17 for Trump to +14 for the Democrat.
