CLETA MITCHELL (GUEST): You know, I think that - I don't know, but Amy Coney Barrett writes for the majority, and this is what is shocking, is that there are five justices of the Supreme Court who believe and who wrote in this opinion that there is a difference between casting the ballot, that is when the voters make their choice, and when the ballot is received. That makes no sense.

Frankly, according to their opinion, I actually think that this gives us good grounds to challenge early voting and to say that voting is — there's a lot in that opinion that would suggest that we ought to be challenging early voting. We ought to be challenging unfettered absentee voting because they also point out, which Marc Elias conveniently forgets to discuss, that — repeatedly they referred to the fact that the ballots had to be postmarked on or before election day.

Well, California doesn't require a postmark. I think we ought to challenge that. I think that what we have to do on our side is that we have to do what the left has done. And I know that that when Stephen Miller started America First Legal Foundation after — in 2021, the idea was to build a judicial attack mob that's similar to what the left has. And we haven't really done that.

I mean, they — there are — we've done a lot better. But these guys, the left challenges everything. And we are getting these terrible decisions from these awful left-wing trial court judges all over the country. And then this decision — to me, the worst part of this decision is it emboldens these left-wing crazy judges that are inhabiting our courts all over the country. That's the constitutional crisis we face, is all of these judges.

But I will tell you that I think that there is a roadmap in this. Unfortunately, it requires congressional action and we see how terrible Congress, the US Senate is. So I mean it's, we have a crisis because the judges are not letting the president do his job and they're trying to do Congress's job.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): SAVE America Act — a lot of people are saying, hey, do we have time to implement it? Are we going to have lawsuits? But President Trump is driving forward. We're a huge proponent of that.

We also know that Bill Pulte is at DNI, and that John Solomon of Real America's Voice is leading a task force on declassification. And yesterday, Pulte hired, from the RNC, as his chief of staff, one of the top election fraud people in all of the RNC to be his chief of staff. So he's telling you where he's — signaling where he's going on this.

My understanding — I don't have any access to this classified information — but my understanding is that there is going to be real revelations about the stealing of the 2020 election.-

Election deniers reach a fever pitch calling for a “national emergency” declaration so Trump can give himself “king-like powers” over the midterms

Tina Peters: “I believe Trump could sign an executive order to get rid of the machines and say ... that a vendor cannot have that much influence over our elections”

Written by Alex Kaplan

Published 06/30/26

After President Donald Trump issued an executive order at the end of March aimed at stopping supposed fraud with mail-in ballots, election deniers have urged Trump to declare a national emergency to allow a federal takeover of election processes. On June 24, Trump echoed those calls and suggested that passing a bill to supposedly combat election fraud is a “national emergency.”

Media figures who have pushed claims of widespread election fraud — some of whom say they have been involved with drafting such an order that is “sitting on his [Trump’s] desk” — have urged Trump to give himself “king-like powers” by implementing the proposal, as it would supposedly empower Trump to “be able to make the rules” and use the National Guard to oversee midterm elections. Others claim that they have asked Trump directly to invoke the proposed order, saying it would be “very easy” for the president to “issue an executive order through a national emergency and have the National Guard count those ballots by hand.”

Election deniers drafted executive order declaring a national emergency to implement election policies and Trump issued an executive order on mail-in ballots

During his second term, Trump has issued two executive orders related to elections. As explained by The New York Times, a March 2025 order instructs the Election Assistance Commission “to require people to show government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, and directs state or local officials to record and verify the information,” and it “seeks to require states to count ballots by Election Day.” Multiple federal judges have since blocked that executive order.

On March 31, Trump issued an executive order that directs the Department of Homeland Security to “compile and transmit to the chief election official of each State a list of individuals confirmed to be United States citizens who will be above the age of 18 at the time of an upcoming Federal election and who maintain a residence in the subject State,” and instructs the U.S. Postal Service to “transmit ballots only to individuals enrolled on a State-specific Mail-in and Absentee Participation List.” NPR reported that “election experts said the order was unconstitutional.” After Trump signed the executive order, election deniers hailed it as a “win” that will leave Democrats “toast.” On June 25, a federal judge blocked parts of the order.

While Trump reportedly “shrugged off reports that he could consider declaring a national emergency around the midterm elections,” he has repeatedly advocated for the SAVE America Act, which would put restrictions on voting but has struggled to pass in Congress. On June 24, Trump canceled plans to sign bipartisan housing legislation “until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency.”

As the 2026 midterms approach, right-wing media and the Trump administration appear to have ramped up their efforts to undermine the midterm elections — invoking repeatedly debunked conspiracy theoriesabout widespread election fraud in the U.S., relying on one-off incidents and hypotheticals that are often exaggerated or misleading, and pushing for Trump policy priorities like the SAVE America Act.

Election deniers have already claimed that primaries for the 2026 midterms have featured election fraud, and Savin himself has claimed that the primary elections have been “laying the groundwork” for Trump to declare a national emergency — language which the president has now repeated.

CONTEXT

AN 5 26

President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, announced that she believes the outcome of the 2020 election could change after their investigations.

She recalled Trump calling her to come down to Mar-a-Lago and that they discussed why he won Florida but failed in so many other states.

Wiles said in passing, "I think we are going to find out he actually did win" those states.

Trump's FBI seized all of the ballots from Fulton County earlier this year, leaving no copies or additional records that could compare the originals. Officials in Fulton County have concerns that the ballots could be tampered with to support Trump's case.

In response to the comments, Wiles was blasted by those who called the perpetuation of the 2020 election conspiracy theories absurd.

"Psychosis," wrote ex-Republican Tim Miller after seeing the clip.

"Susie Wiles is a crazy person. Trump did not get cheated out of states in the 2020 election, and to claim otherwise indicates you have serious cognitive problems," commented influencer Aaron Rupar.

One person recalled, "Reminder: the Trump team filed 62 lawsuits related to the 2020 election. Half of them were tossed out. They were allowed to the opportunity to present evidence in the other half, all of which related to vote tallies were also thrown out. They won one lawsuit, which had nothing to do with the 2020 election itself. Media surrogates tried to every possible angle, even blaming a Venezuelan conspiracy to tamper with voting machines, which got them lawsuits they all spectacularly lost. At every opportunity to present evidence, they've failed over and over again."

"Insanely weird to keep this going so many years later. Susie Wiles has got to be smarter than to actually believe this," commented author and columnist Evan Barker.

Another person warned that this is all part of a larger plot, "all part of the 'stolen' election script. They're going to use it to give Trump a third term."

Former national security official Brian P. McKeon wrote, "If he did win, then he is ineligible to continue serving as President."

Campaign strategist Jacob Perry commented, "For years people have been telling me that Susie Wiles was the sane one who would keep things somewhat normal in the White House. That is clearly not the case."

Trump Will Take Control of the Midterms–If This Florida Lawyer Gets His Way

“Foreign interests are putting their thumb on the scale of our elections,” Peter Ticktin claims. Senator Mark Warner is answering with a “prebunking” campaign.

By Chris Smith

March 17, 2026

:{:{Attorney Peter Ticktin listens during oral arguments for People vs Tina Peters in the Court of Appeals at the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center in Denver on January 14, 2026.:}:

Chances are you have never heard of Peter Ticktin. That’s okay. Until a few years ago, most civilians did not recognize the names Dan Scavino or Laura Loomer or even Steve Bannon. Yet those three and others have all moved from the Republican fringes to become influential figures in President Donald Trump’s orbit.

Now, Ticktin, an 80-year-old South Florida lawyer, is aiming to play a key role in trying to upend 250 years of American election law by persuading Trump to issue an executive order that would allow the president to seize control of this fall’s midterm balloting process. “Well, he has to,” Ticktin tells Vanity Fair. “I wouldn’t recommend this to the president if it were not actually an election emergency occurring, where foreign interests are putting their thumb on the scale of our elections.”

How would they do that? It’s complicated. Ticktin connects dots alleging automated voting trickery stretching from Venezuela to Antrim County, Michigan, to Beijing. “The only reason Donald Trump is in office now is because the computer data center in Belgrade, Serbia, was disabled by certain American actors in 2024,” Ticktin says, mysteriously. “But they’re never going to let that happen again.” By “they,” he means the Chinese, the World Economic Forum, and the Democrats—who, Ticktin claims, are seeking a Senate majority next year in order to impeach Trump and Vice President JD Vance and install New York congressman Hakeem Jeffries as president.

:{:{All of which might be dismissed as garden-variety conspiracy, not to mention being beyond the organizational capacity of the Democratic Party. Except that Ticktin and Trump have a long history. The two men have known one another for 65 years, going back to their time as classmates at the New York Military Academy, a relationship Ticktin detailed in his 2020 book, What Makes Trump Tick.}:

What Makes Trump Tick: My Years with Donald Trump from New York Military Academy to the Present: Peter Ticktin: 9781645437116: Amazon.com: Books

What makes President Donald Trump tick? There's no better person to ask than Peter Ticktin, Donald Trump's former platoon sergeant who ran Company A for him at New York Military Academy, and lifelong friend. In What Makes Trump Tick: My Years with Donald Trump from New York Military Academy to the Present, Peter Ticktin outlines why he always has and always will stand behind 45. Including never-before-told stories of Donald Trump and their lives at New York Military Academy, What Makes Trump Tick is an eye-opening, firsthand account of the experiences that made Donald Trump the businessman, president, and simply the man he is today.

Ticktin is the founder of The Ticktin Law Group based in Deerfield Beach, Florida. After graduating from New York Military Academy, Mr. Ticktin received his first law degree from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, and began practicing law in Canada as a barrister in 1972. Within his first year of practice, he defeated the Uniform Summons, resulting in the dismissal of all misdemeanors that used the form within the Province of Ontario, and changed the criminal laws in Ontario's appellate courts and the Supreme Court of Canada.

In the mid-eighties, Mr. Ticktin relocated to Florida and commenced his effort to obtain his second law degree. He graduated cum laude from the University of Miami Law School, and was elected into the Order of the Coif, among numerous honors.

Mr. Ticktin's practice is eclectic and covers a broad band of legal work, from divorce to business litigation. He loves being before juries. He generally thinks outside of the proverbial box with creative approaches to achieve the most pragmatically sensible results where possible, and a good fight where not. He has had numerous cases before the appellate courts, including appearances before the Supreme Courts of Canada, Florida, and California. Moreover, he has changed the world by taking on HIV and AIDS cases when others were afraid to have someone infected come to their offices. He won a two week trial which was nationally televised on CourtTV after his clients 7-year-old child had his organs harvested by an organ procurement supervisor who forged his mother's permission. He again came to national attention when he was on the forefront of a mortgage foreclosure defense, when he unearthed the robo-signers and gave the attorney generals of all fifty states the basis they needed to win a $50 billion settlement. Mr. Ticktin remains in active practice and remains as young and vigorous as President Trump. Perhaps it was the NYMA food.

Product details

More recently, Ticktin was part of Trump’s legal team in a 2022 lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and others that alleged a broad racketeering scheme to create false allegations against Trump’s 2016 campaign. “When I was hired to assist Alina Habba as local counsel in Florida, I had a long meeting with the president, and I said, ‘What do I call you?’ Because I’ve always called him Donald,” Ticktin says of his work on the lawsuit. “He looked at Alina and he said, ‘Oh, he can call me Donald, because after all, I’ve known him so long, and he is so much older than I am.’” Ticktin pauses.

“For the record, I’m four and a half months older than him.” (The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, with a federal judge calling it “frivolous” and issuing sanctions against Habba, Ticktin, and other lawyers. They appealed, but an appellate court affirmed the case’s dismissal and upheld the sanctions against the attorneys. Habba did not respond to a request for comment.)}:

Ticktin says he began talking with Trump about election-integrity issues at least a year ago, and followed up, most recently, in an email earlier this month. “I can’t stop,” he says, “because of what I know.” Ticktin is reluctant to get into detail about his “line of communication” with the administration, or about which Cabinet secretary he says is spearheading the midterms election-integrity effort. “They trust me,” he says. “I don’t want to act in a way that’s not trustworthy.”

A White House spokeswoman did not respond to questions regarding Trump’s relationship with Ticktin, and directed me to the president’s answer, on February 27, when a PBS reporter asked whether he was considering issuing an executive order related to the midterms. “No,” the president said. “I’ve never heard about it.”

:{:{Ticktin isn’t the only person trying to encourage Trump to seize control of the elections. Micheal Flynn, the former lieutenant general and first-term Trump national security adviser, has promoted the idea, as has the right-wing activist and author Jerome Corsi. Flynn convened a meeting in Washington last month billed as “a critical roundtable to address election integrity.”}:

According to ProPublica, the event attracted current administration officials Kurt Olsen, a White House lawyer who is reinvestigating the 2020 election, and Heather Honey, who is in charge of election integrity at the Department of Homeland Security, as well as conservative activists including Cleta Mitchell, who has pushed false claims about noncitizen voting and now runs the Election Integrity Network.}:

:{:{Senator Mark Warner is trying to sound the alarm, even as potential election mischief is being overshadowed by life-and-death events like the war on Iran. “This is of critical importance,” the Virginia Democrat tells me. “One thing we should have learned about Trump is he doesn’t hide his intentions, including the notion to call for federal elections.”}:

Warner is particularly concerned that Trump officials could create a pretext for Trump to take over the voting. “Tulsi Gabbard is a disaster, and she’s chasing debunked theories about the 2020 election,” Warner says, referring to the director of national intelligence’s recent presence at the raid of an election office in Fulton County, Georgia. “She could be the perpetrator of this—putting out a raw piece of intelligence that purports to show foreign interference,” as an excuse for Trump’s intervention.}:

A Gabbard spokeswoman, Olivia Coleman, said she “would especially encourage you to focus on the very real vulnerabilities uncovered in the electronic voting machines.” Coleman also pointed me to a February letter from Gabbard to Warner and others in Congress saying the director’s office “will not irresponsibly share incomplete intelligence assessments concerning foreign or other malign interference in US elections.”

Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, is hardly reassured. He is assembling a “prebunking” team of former intelligence officials who could knock down attempts at disinformation. “I have a sense of urgency on this,” Warner says. “When we’re talking about Laura Loomer being able to call the shots on who does and doesn’t get jobs in the administration, and bragging about her ability to fire a four-star general, we’ve passed into the realm of the absurd.”

Loomer has gone from incendiary far-right provocateur to informal Trump adviser and loyalty enforcer, digging through the backgrounds of political officials in search of insufficient fealty to the MAGA cause and using social media to scorch her targets. Last year Loomer’s accusations appeared to trigger the dismissal of General Timothy Haugh, the head of the National Security Agency.

Ticktin’s style is considerably more mild-mannered, and he claims that the changes he’s pushing, including banning voting machines and mail-in ballots, wouldn’t be all that disruptive or difficult to implement. “We already have paper ballots,” he says. “The main change is the ballots would be hand-counted in public. If we don’t, the machines take over, and the machines can determine the outcome of the election. From a Democrat point of view, they’re gonna want the machines.”

:{:{Ticktin, in the wake of the 2008 subprime collapse, handled major mortgage-fraud cases, and he has won a settlement for a family whose mortally injured son’s organs were harvested without proper permission. He is currently representing Tina Peters, the former Colorado county clerk who was convicted on criminal charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, and has represented several January 6 participants, including Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers leader, in their bids to receive full pardons for their roles in the attack on the Capitol.}:

“Donald Trump won the 2020 election,” Ticktin says. “I mean, Donald Trump obtained more legitimate votes and should have won.” What about all the investigations and lawsuits that turned up no meaningful fraud? “Some of them were corrupt,” he says. “But most of them, nobody ever looked at the evidence. It was a question of standing. We know much more now than we knew then.”}:

Ticktin has also had his law license suspended twice for conflicts of interest, and the biography on his firm’s site claims the film Philadelphia was originally going to be called Miami, with its story inspired by a client of Ticktin’s. “That’s insane,” says Ron Nyswaner, the Philadelphia screenwriter. “Among the many, many lies we get from Trump and his people, that’s one of them.” (Ticktin says the reference was to a possible unrelated production.) The firm’s site also has a link to “Peter’s Poems,” including “The Toronto Subway System” and “The Hamburger” (“That special sauce is what I dread / Like heroin, it lifts its addictive head”).

The Constitution, Ticktin admits, leaves election logistics to the states. So last year he created an “outline” for an executive order justifying presidential intervention because of what he believes are foreign threats to the electoral system. More recently, a 17-page draft executive order filling in Ticktin’s framework has circulated in conservative circles; it ties together everything from the Defense Production Act to a law related to federal holidays. Ticktin claims he does not know who wrote the longer document. “It might have been Jerome Corsi,” he says.

Corsi, who aggressively promoted doubts about Barack Obama’s birth certificate, says it wasn’t him and he doesn’t know who wrote the draft either, though he calls Ticktin “instrumental” in the larger effort. Whoever the authors might be, Corsi agrees with the draft order’s aims, and says the necessity of a Trump election takeover will soon become clearer, as administration investigations uncover new “hard evidence” of voter fraud in Arizona and Georgia. “Donald Trump has said repeatedly in the second term that one of his goals is to prove the 2020 election was stolen,” Corsi says. “I’ve known Donald Trump for over 40 years...he’s not going to let the midterms be run with all these things in place to create more fraud.”

“This draft executive order rewrites the laws of 50 states and creates brand-new laws with no input from Congress or the states it would affect,” says Devon Ombres, the senior director for courts and legal policy at the Center for American Progress. “The laws it cites don’t give the president the authority to do these things.”

Trump typically cares little for legal niceties. His style is to push boundaries until someone stops him—if they stop him. And actually imposing an executive order might not even be necessary to alter the midterm dynamics. Simply floating the idea of extreme measures might serve the purpose of making less extreme interference—like new voter ID laws and restrictions on mail-in ballots—seem downright tolerable. Increased chatter about foreign interference could also help undermine the credibility of the midterm results. Polling in advance of the 2024 presidential election found a majority of voters were already worried about possible election interference by Russia and China.

One irony is that federal mechanisms to thwart interference were beefed up during Trump’s first term, only to be dismantled during his second. One side effect is that a presidential takeover of elections—an idea long considered outlandish—may now sound more plausible. “We’ve seen this over and over again, the mainstreaming of radical ideas,” says Charlie Sykes, the conservative commentator and an avowed Never Trumper. “Back in 2020, after the election, people were saying the vice president can overturn the Electoral College on January 6. And I rolled my eyes. You know what happened.”
