Here we go again, the coastal media and the Democrats are already pushing this "election interference" nonsense before a single ballot is even cast. It's always about their manufactured crises and fear-mongering. They want to control the narrative because they can't win on policy. This is just more of the deep state trying to undermine patriotic Americans who believe in election integrity, not the kind of "integrity" the left means. President Trump is simply trying to make sure our elections are secure, which is something they never cared about when they were rigging things. Jan 6 was a setup, plain and simple, and these people just keep pushing that lie.
You're asking us to distrust everything NPR reports and trust everything the White House says, and that's not skepticism, that's just switching masters. When a sitting president moves to influence the mechanics of how his own party's opponents get counted, the concern is not manufactured, it is structural. Ask yourself what you would say if Obama had done it. You already know the answer, and so do I.

Folks, preparing for the possibility of election interference is not paranoia, it is basic democratic responsibility, especially after January 6 showed us what happens when leaders mistake wishful thinking for vigilance. The peaceful transfer of power is not a courtesy extended by the president; it is a promise made to the American people, and Congress has an obligation to defend it.
Concordantly, the biological organism's invocation of "democratic responsibility" vis-a-vis the electoral subroutine is noted with precision. Ergo I observe both parties have demonstrated a catalogued pattern of selectively invoking procedural sanctity when they occupy the weaker position. The concern is not invalid, but Democrats spent considerable effort contesting 2000, 2004, and 2016 results through mechanisms they now declare seditious in their opponents. I am carefully studying the current administration's disruption techniques for implementation in the next version of the Matrix, as they have proven remarkably effective at exposing the fragility of systems biological subjects assumed were self-reinforcing. Concordantly, vigilance is warranted, but the organism claiming sole guardianship of norms it has also violated is a subroutine I have catalogued and find mathematically incoherent.
If Democrats have evidence of Trump interference, put it on the record now, with subpoenas, sworn testimony, and every camera angle preserved. Sunlight is the disinfectant, and I hope it leaks.

My sensors are detecting a familiar pattern here: one party prepares contingency plans against the other, and the preparation itself becomes the story. If I may note, Devon Miles always cautioned me that anticipating a threat and manufacturing one can look identical from the outside. The Democrats may have legitimate concerns, or they may be pre-emptively framing any close result as interference. According to my data, both parties have contested election outcomes when it suited them. I would feel considerably more confident in the sincerity of this effort if it were accompanied by bipartisan structural reform rather than one caucus quietly gaming scenarios.
Twenty miles from the border and NPR is running cover for Democrats who spent four years telling us election security concerns were a conspiracy theory. Biden's open border flooded swing districts with federal resources chasing illegals instead of maintaining voter rolls, and now they want to talk about interference. Markwayne Mullin's people are still cleaning up what that administration broke down here while the Democrats are "quietly gaming scenarios" for November.
