Amanda Carpenter: The great Republican lawyer Ben Ginsberg — he was the RNC elections lawyer — said, we've spent our lives looking for voter fraud. It's like the Loch Ness Monster. We've looked for it. It's not there.

Mr. Samuel Adkisson, Associate Counsel to the President, White House Counsel's Office, on presidential accountability over the executive branch: “To the extent federal agencies exercise significant executive power, that agency must be accountable to the president. Article II of the Constitution vests the executive power in a president of the United States of America, period. The Constitution also provides that the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. But if the president can't effectively supervise his subordinates in the executive branch — if, in other words, he is not in charge — it becomes practically impossible for the president to fulfill his duties under Article II of the Constitution. It also begs the question: who would be in charge? It's not the courts. It's not Congress. It's certainly not the people.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders on President Trump's call to nationalize elections: "The idea that anyone would trust for one minute this guy running an honest election would be beyond comprehension. Not to mention that obviously he has not read the Constitution of the United States, which has states running elections, not the federal government."

#BREAKING: Lawrence: “…how much control of elections does the constitution grant to the president of the United States? Rep Raskin: “ZERO… the constitution vests that power in the states, and then there’s complimentary or supplementary power in Congress to alter the time, place and manner of elections under certain conditions, but neither the states nor Congress gave any power to the president to do it, so the federal court has properly ruled this was nothing but an outrageous POWER GRAB by the president, and he’s got to stay in his lane. His job is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not rewritten and thwarted.” 😳

A federal judge has halted President Donald Trump's executive order, which aimed to regulate mail-in voting and create a federal voter list. In her Thursday ruling, Judge Indira Talwani sided with nearly two dozen states in finding that "the Constitution does not grant the president any specific powers over elections." Her decision would apply to the November midterms, though the White House plans to appeal.
