"The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over. We should take over the voting in at least ‒ many, 15 places.'" Trump said. "The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked."

The Constitution gives authority to states ‒ not the federal government ‒ to set "the times, places and manner" of holding federal elections, but it empowers Congress to "make or alter" rules.

Trump's comments came after the FBI on Jan. 28 executed a search warrant at a Fulton County elections center near Atlanta as part of a probe related to the 2020 presidential election. Georgia is among the states won by Biden that Trump has falsely said were stolen from him.
