In an audio broadcast on Monday, Trump called on Republicans to “control” and “nationalize” the elections.
The comments came on the heels of an FBI raid on a Georgia election office that was the target of Trump’s often-debunked conspiracy theories to explain his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
Levitt said Trump was referring to the SAVE Act, legislation tightening proof of citizenship requirements that some Republicans want to put to a vote in Congress. House Republicans also introduced a second bill last week to change election procedures nationwide.
