Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – August 21, 2025<\/a><\/h2>\n

…
\nLast night, just before midnight, Trump cheered on the Texas Republicans and called for Florida, Indiana, and other states to do the same thing. He also called for Republicans in the state legislatures to \u201cSTOP MAIL-IN VOTING\u201d and \u201cgo to PAPER BALLOTS before it is too late.\u201d \u201cIf we do these TWO things,\u201d he wrote, \u201cwe will pick up 100 more seats, and the CROOKED game of politics is over. God Bless America!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

The president of the United States is openly admitting that his party cannot win a free and fair election.<\/p>\n

Instead of appealing to voters with popular policies, he is calling for rigging our elections so that his party cannot lose. This appears to have been the plan all along. In July 2024, Trump told an audience of evangelical Christians that if they voted for him in November, \u201cin four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
