[EL] Cats Scratch Their Rescuer

[David Ely]

"no greater friend than Donald J Trump."  Really?  The man who accused the local election administrators of allowing millions of non-citizens to vote?  And then formed a commission whose primary purpose is a fishing expedition to justify the accusation and undercut the legitimacy of local election administrators? With friends like that it's no wonder they're worried.
"Russia,Russia Russia" cautions against nationalizing voter administration at least as much as it could justify it. The voter fraud drumbeat is much more likely to be used to justify nationalization.

I see that:
The nation’s Secretaries of State sent a clear message to the White House.  Members of the National Association of Secretaries of State meeting in Indianapolis unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution underscoring the Constitutional rights of states to administer local, state and federal elections. If "underscoring [and preserving] the Constitutional [power] of states to administer local, state and federal elections" is the issue, the several Secretaries of State have no greater friend than Donald J. Trump.
For it is evident that nearly half the endgame of "Russia, Russia, Russia" is to justify the (formal or functional) nationalization of voter administration in a single federal agency, be it DHS or elsewhere. What were the buzzwords we heard repeatedly last Autumn? "...critical [something] architecture"?

Sanders supporters should be no less concerned. (Whether they are or not, I cannot say).
Thank you,
