This is going on at the same time, Dana, where.

The President's SAVE Act that he's very supportive of that would change and require ID for participating in other identification to participate in federal elections.

Democrats and others are aghast at this legislation, by the way.

But at the same time, it looks like that legislation isn't going anywhere fast.

So President Trump and his allies, particularly those outside of the White House like Steve Bannon, who have already said on their podcast that, hey, we're going to declare a national emergency and send in ICE and send people to the ballots, send the people to the ballot boxes.

The alarm, I think, Dana, is largely because President Trump still to this day lies about winning the 2020 election.

He's never publicly acknowledged that he lost that election.

He even, I think, at the State of the Union alluded to winning the 2020 election when he did not.

So there is a lot of nervous speculation here on the part of Democrats and their allies, especially when considering that the Trump administration seized records in Fulton County, Georgia.

There are ballots down there.

So look, legal observers have already made comment that this would be unconstitutional.

The Constitution is very clear that states are in control of our elections.

We don't really have a national election.

We have 50 different elections during the presidential years.

So even if President Trump were to issue such an executive order, which many

anticipate he will, coming from an ally that he went to military school with, a pro-Trump attorney, who's coming up and conjuring up this legal idea or legal theory.

I think you are going to see if that does land, this is going to be challenged in the courts, obviously by his opponents.

But there is a lot of nervous feelings around this.

The president may try to declare, oh, there's foreign interference.

There's a national emergency, no more mail-in ballots, and X, Y, and Z, right?
